(UPDATES) A SMALL, bright meteor lit up skies over northern Luzon early Thursday as it burned up entering the Earth's atmosphere, the European Space Agency (ESA) and witnesses said.

The one-meter (3.3-foot) space rock, named 2024 RW1, collided with the Earth's atmosphere at 12:39 a.m. and caused a 'harmless' but 'spectacular fireball' over Luzon, the ESA said.
