A meteor seared over Australia on Watch Illicit Desire (2017)Tuesday night, lighting up the sky over Perth.
According to the ABC, the local Department of Fire and Emergency Services received calls from "more than one concerned caller" who thought the meteor could be a UFO.

CCTV footage shows how bright the meteor was -- in the clips in this broadcast, it illuminates the entire frame.
Perth residents weren't sure if they actually saw the meteor's fall on Tuesday. @goralphy thought he was caught speeding by a traffic camera.

As Lisa Barnes points out, if the meteor managed to make it to land, you probably shouldn't grab souvenirs. Remnants belong to the state and any discoveries should be reported to Gravity Discovery Centre.

Finding actual pieces of meteor is questionable -- according to Professor Phil Bland, director of the Desert Fireball Network which studies the fallen space rocks, only about 2 to 3 percent of visible meteors make it to the ground.
But Bland is hopeful. He told ABC that considering how bright it appears on camera, the object must have been large. Larger meteors have a greater chance of making it through Earth's atmosphere intact.
"So that is really exciting," he said.
ABC reports that the Desert Fireball Network should be able to pinpoint where the meteor landed by the end of the day.
