Meteor Shower Video Looks Like a Real-Life Alien Invasion

Every 33 years the Tempel-Tuttle Comet visits the inner solar system filling Earth's skies with a shower of meteors. Debris from this particular comet are called Leonids because they appear to originate in the part of the sky where the Leo constellation is located. Though this year's Leonid Meteor Shower took place last week, the meteors that people observed were actually emitted by the comet in the years 1466 and 1533. Most of the meteoric activity was predicted to occur over Asia, but it seems that the most stunning amateur video came from other parts of the world, including the US. Some of it looks like it came straight out of a big budget sci-fi thriller.

This first video was captured on November 21st by an office building's security camera in Midrand, South Africa. It takes a few seconds but boy is it worth it.
