A bright green fireball streaked across British Columbia's skies on Wednesday night, seen in Kelowna, Kamloops, and Osoyoos. The event, around 10 p.m., also drew attention from Vancouver Island and Washington State residents. The Eta Aquariids meteor shower, linked to Halley's Comet, is ongoing, running from April 19 to May 28.
