Video: Harvard professor gives verdict on unidentified object seen rising from behind volcano after meteor strike

Nature's destructive power was on full display in the Philippines, as a dazzling meteor burned through the atmosphere above an erupting volcano. Like something from heavy metal music video, the green fireball blazed overhead as lava ran down the slopes of Mount Mayon - one of the world's most active volcanoes. This incredible moment was captured at 10:33 pm (15:33 BST) local time on May 25 by a network of cameras livestreaming the eruption. Onlookers were 'shocked' and 'stunned' by the astonishingly rare coincidence on Monday night. One terrified local from the nearby town of Los Baños even said he 'thought it was a missile because of how bright it was'. Adding 'It burned bright green and white for less than a second before it disappeared into the clouds'.
