"Officers captured something unusual on their patrol car dash cameras," North Port police posted to its Facebook page.

It's believed that the fireball was a meteor.

"At least we know that we come in peace," North Port police said in the Facebook post, seemingly a suggestion that the light could have been connected with aliens.

North Port is located northwest of Port Charlotte and south of Interstate 75 near the Gulf Coast.
