A newly released video by the American Meteor Society shows a fireball moving across the sky above North Carolina last Friday.
According to NASA Meteor Watch, the phenomenon was seen over North Carolina after 7:30 p.m., one of several fireball sightings in the U.S. that night.
An analysis from NASA said the meteor "skimmed the coast of North Carolina," noticeable to sightseers some 48 miles above the ocean in Jacksonville, N.C., blazing across the sky at 32,000 mph.
Meteoroids typically enter Earth's atmosphere at 25,000 to 160,000 mph, however, they "rapidly decelerate" as they travel through the atmosphere, according to the nonprofit American Meteor Society.
The fireball traveled 26 miles through Earth's upper atmosphere, later disintegrating 28 miles above Morehead City.
Up to 150 people across Maryland, South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia also reported seeing a streaking fireball go across their states, AMS reports.
Friday's fireball was captured in two different videos, with one video featured by AMS having over 200,000 views.
So, what exactly is a "fireball?" Fireballs, according to experts, are considered to be "exceptionally bright" meteors that appear brighter than the planet Venus.
No way that was 32000 mph. 25 or 30 mph. . tops.
I’ll call your Meteoroid and raise you photos of UFOs between Norway and Iceland taken through a periscope!

One night back in the 70s, my dad, my brother and I were in the backyard watching for meteors. We didn’t see any for a while and my brother went inside to get a drink. Of course that’s when a meteor streaked across the sky. It was huge and lit up the sky before exploding in a shower of sparks.
My dad and I looked at each other and said “He’s not going to believe us.”
Reminds me of this:
Somewhere out in the wood of North Carolina a sterno bum has spotted some sort of mysterious “blob”, and has picked it up with a stick ...
Simple stroke of the pen and you can seemingly do most anything these days.
I have a picture of one (I think). I was laying b in my backyard with my camera looking skyward around 2pm..and caught it. I need to find it.
I saw it as well! I ran in the house and told my mom a plane was crashing. We found out later it fell several states away!
Funny. Some people seem to think it never happened, that it is some kind of weird conspiracy theory!
