Dash cam footage has captured the spectacular moment a suspected meteor lit up Bangkok, streaking across the sky in a ball of fire.

The light was also seen in over five other parts of Thailand at around 8:35pm local time, The Bangkok Post reported.

“I could see it clearly in Chum Pphae district, Khon Kaen province. It’s moving west,” one witness tweeted to JS100, a local radio station.

The Thai Astronomical Society said on its Facebook page that the phenomenon was “expected” to be a meteor.

A similar incident was filmed in October in the Thai capital, when locals took to social media to report sightings of a fireball in the sky.
