The search for aliens is on and scientists are working hard to find any possible clues of life outside our planet. But some people in Australia's Perth were convinced the invasion is near after they spotted a massive fireball in the night sky recently. Skywatchers across Western Australia saw an incredible fireball on Tuesday night (August 28), and many even filmed the spectacle on their phones. And with the videos uploaded on social media, people started discussing the possibilities of alien invasion to the end of the world. The Perth Observatory expressed that it was just a meteorite.

The meteor was about 1.6 feet (50 centimeters) across entering Earth's atmosphere as informed by the observatory. And since many people have filmed the fireball, scientists will study and find more information about the meteor including if there are any remains fallen on the land. Perseid Meteor Shower 2018: US' Central Idaho Dark Sky Reserve Will Give You a Spectacular View of the Celestial Event!
