Dramatic footage has emerged of space debris flying over Las Vegas, Nevada, US on Tuesday.

The filmer William Albert wrote online: "I was walking down the street a few minutes ago and I saw the most amazing thing I've ever seen in my life, I got a pretty good video of it" and can be heard amazed by what he is seeing.

Despite his initial thought that the object was a meteor, local reports indicate it was actually debris from a Russian space rocket.
