NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center says numerous people saw a very bright streak early Friday. A statement and video posted on Facebook says an analysis shows the meteor was first seen at an altitude of about 58 miles (93 kilometers) above rural Turkeytown, which is about 80 miles (129 kilometers) northeast of Birmingham.
The office estimates a small asteroid about 6 feet (1.8 meters) in diameter then broke apart about 18 miles (29 kilometers) above the town of Oak Grove. It was at least 40 times as bright as the full moon at one point.

We wuz out drinkin’ our Keystone Lite, when this big old fireball done shot across the sky. Cousin Eddie had his shotgun and wannatd to shoot the dern thing but his wife, which happens to be his daughter, said not to and to get some sleep so we can bring in the chickens in the morning.
As long as you got your ‘Stones.
Wait. What?
Let me guess. You are 4 foot 3 with a proportionate tally whacker. I keep seeing you on threads and you have that angry short man short PP vibe. Dude, just learn how to use it. I dated a woman 6 foot 7 as a 5 foot 10 man and she was over the top. When we were nose to nose I used my toes. When we were toe to toe I used my nose.
Quit being an ahole just cause you are short.
Way to go, Hoss. You just insulted a whole state full of good people with that.
Two words for somebody from Wisconsin insulting someone from Alabama:
Ed Gein.
Oh I can add two so we have four.
Jeffrey Dahmer
The wee wee eater. Probably would pass on EEE’s since it is so small.
Jody fell off his tractor
couldn't believe what he seen.
It was Brenner's security clearance crashing and burning.
Ain’t Fireball a type of hard liquor?
You don't even know how to making up a credible insult. Chickens roost in the henhouse at night, you do not "bring them in" in the morning.
I was born in Ala-damn-bama and you are not as funny as your clueless Wisconsin ignorance about Alabama.
Thanks for posting the vids. Second one was the best. Showed a bunch of different views.
I confess. I did it. The old ‘’dry cleaning bag filled with marsh gas’’ trick. Sorry. Was just havin’ some fun... ya know....
Hey, you still pushin’ the Sessions and Rosenstein are white hats gaslighting, Extremist? Stupidest crap I had ever read on FreeRepublic.
#11. Nah. Fireball is a type of race-car event. I think there was one called the Fireball 500.
One of the worst movies ever. It was so bad that when I started ad libbing dialog, the theater audience busted up laughing.
Youre thinking of ol #22, Fireball Roberts.
