A green fireball caught streaking through the sky in Louisiana has sparked UFO panic among locals who believe it could have been a sign of aliens.
Ring doorbell footage captured the moment the bright emerald orb soared over the horizon at 4:30am on July 14 in the city of Gretna, just across the Mississippi River from New Orleans.
A 17-second clip from the home security device begins with a view of a dark sleepy suburban street with no signs of movement.
Suddenly, a green Great Gatsby-esque light appears from afar, seeming to streak closer to the camera from behind a house over the course of a few seconds.
It illuminates the entire sky bright white before disappearing into the night.

This follows several other alleged alien sightings across America, including that of a Las Vegas family who dialed 911 after they saw ’10-foot aliens’ in their backyard.
A Vegas police officer also picked up a green object on the horizon at around 11.50pm, which has since been identified as a meteor by the American Meteor Society.
‘There’s like an eight-foot person beside it and another one is inside us [sic] and it has big eyes and it’s looking at us — and it’s still there,’ the son of the family told 911.
‘In my backyard. I swear to God this is not a joke, this is actually — we’re terrified,’ the caller claimed.
‘They’re very large. They’re like 8 foot, 9 feet, 10 foot. They look like aliens to us. Big eyes. They have big eyes. Like, I can’t explain it. And big mouth. They’re shiny eyes and they’re not human. They’re 100 percent not human,’ he said.
The responding officers also expressed their trepidation at the odd events.
‘I’m so nervous right now,’ one officer can be heard telling his partner on the bodycam footage.
‘I have ʙuттerflies, bro — saw a shooting star and now these people say there’s aliens in their backyard.’
The officer’s bodycam footage went viral, and the family said this led to their backyard being inundated with curious trespᴀssers eager to see the supernatural beings.
