TORONTO – Several people witnessed a bright meteor over parts of Ontario Friday night.

The meteor was spotted in Toronto, Newmarket, Oshawa and as far away as Sudbury around 10 p.m.

Several people reported the meteor on the American Meteor Society’s website. There was no sound associated with the meteor.

It is unknown if the meteor is associated with the Delta Aquarid meteor shower that peaks on July 30. Typically the Delta Aquarids produce about 10 meteors an hour.
