According to the American Meteor Society fireball is another term for a very bright meteor, generally brighter than magnitude -4, which is about the same magnitude of the planet Venus as seen in the morning or evening sky. A bolide is a special type of fireball which explodes in a bright terminal flash at its end, often with visible fragmentation.

A spokesperson for the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) says the fireball which was seen over Walker County (Alabama) was a meteor as neither FAA nor local authorities have any confirmed information about a plane crash or any other accident, Alabama media report.

On Monday, NASA officials resolved the mystery saying it was space debris. The agency said that it was traveling around 14,500 miles per hour and was tracked by NASA cameras in the southeast.

Maybe God has finally had enough and is starting to rain fire down on our wicked, depraved country.

It is obviously connected to all those Confederate flags flying in Alabama.

Hopefully, He will start with Washington DC. Then move on to San Francisco, Hollyweird, NYC, and Chicago.

If it’s a meteor, it is not “mysterious”. If it is space junk, it is not “mysterious”.

Only the stupid writer is “mysterious”.

“Bolides rule”!

Maybe God needed to do some testing of his fire and brimstone (Sodom and Gomorrah were a long time ago) and chose Atlanta as a starting point. (half /s)
