One person who was driving near Martensville, just north of Saskatoon, describes seeing a ball of fire suddenly light up the sky. 

Allan Hildebrand, with the University of Calgary’s department of geosciences, suggests that whatever caused the flash probably wasn’t man-made space junk. 

He says if anything fell to the ground, it probably landed in Saskatchewan.
