A series of fireballs lit up the night sky across the eastern U.S. Tuesday night and Wednesday morning just hours apart.
...
More than 420 witnesses reported seeing the fireball streaking across the sky, with those reports from Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana.
Among the reports AMS received in Indiana, one person in Greenwood described the fireball as having "small reddish sparks as it snuffed out, scattered in all directions."
...
Three of the four reported fireballs happened within 90 minutes of each other, with the other reports over New Jersey, Tennessee and Florida.
"It is rare that multiple significant fireball events occur and are reported to the AMS in the same evening," read a statement on the AMS site .

Over the past couple of years, I’ve seen hundreds of meteors, each while looking at one area of the northern part the night sky for a few seconds—nearly always at the same point in the north-northeast (same elevation).
RED SKY AT NIGHT! RED SKY AT NIGHT!! WHOA -OH!
Cateracts.
I checked out the page at the link you posted. VERY interesting reading.
I’ve always found the NC barrier islands to be very interesting. It’s as if the ocean swallowed up the far eastern part of the state, leaving a narrow strip of land. Those were probably mountains tens of millions of years ago. I live in the Appalachian mountains(one of the oldest in the world), and it’s fascinating how they used to be as high and rugged as the Rocky mountains, but have been weathered down over time. The Appalachian/Blue Ridge mountains were also a natural barrier to the early Americans going West. People like Daniel Boone found a good way to get through it though.
(damn did I ever go off-topic... LOL)
Controversial too.
I was driving Hwy 91 through Corona last night and I saw them in the hills heading toward Pomona. Gene Barry was on their trail.
I think the Carolina Bays were formed when huge chunks of space debris crashed into the glaciers over Lake Michigan and shot huge blocks of ice all the way to the Carolinas. SC- time to post that book again.
I’m not sure...but, I won’t argue with that possibility.
