by Sayan Bose,
INCREDIBLE footage captured the moment a comet travelling at 1,700mph lit up the night sky in a rare spectacle.
Stargazers were left stunned as the fireball shot turned the pitch-black sky into greenish blue in parts of Spain and Portugal.
Amazing footage captured by the dashcam of a car in Portugal shows a dazzling blue-coloured fireball-shaped object with a long tail falling from the sky.
Within moments, the blazing object explodes to paint the entire sky in the shade of blue.
A different footage captured by the European Space Agency (ESA) showed the object illuminating the sky over the western Spanish city of Caceres into hues of blue and green.
