NEW: A bright object spotted streaking across the sky on a sunny, bright morning in Ottawa was a meteor. ottnews

Terry Cai sent CTV News Ottawa dash cam video showing an object travelling across the sky at 10:06 a.m. Sunday morning. Cai was driving along Moodie Drive near Hunt Club when the dash cam captured the object.

A Bell Media employee reported seeing a meteor at approximately the same time, saying it looked like a "falling star, but it had a red/orange/yellow tail." One person on Twitter reported seeing a small meteor while they were looking northwest towards Gatineau. St. Mary's University professor Dr. Robert Thacker, a Canada Research Chair in Computational Astrophysics, tells CTV News Ottawa the object streaking across the sky was likely a meteor.

Thacker adds the meteor is likely part of the Southern Delta Aquariids Meteor Show, which peaked this weekend.
