This isn’t something you see every day!

Residents in the southeastern part of the United States spotted a massive fireball streak through the skies on Thursday afternoon.

The American Meteor Society reported receiving over 140 reports from residents of Georgia, Alabama, Florida, North Carolina, and South Carolina who had spotted a fireball.

Residents in Georgia reported feeling an earthquake as the fireball crossed the sky.

The National Weather Service assured residents in Georgia that the earthquake they felt was “the result of the sonic boom from the meteor or space junk.”

Another angle:

Per Fox 5 Atlanta:

Officials across the Southeast say they are investigating reports of a “fireball” seen in the sky Thursday afternoon.

According to the National Weather Service, radar could not fully track the object due to its altitude and speed, and satellite imagery—which updates only every few minutes—missed it. However, the Global Lightning Mapper (GLM), an instrument designed to detect lightning flashes in the upper atmosphere, registered the event. The object’s entry into the atmosphere created a flash similar to lightning, allowing the GLM to capture data showing the event over eastern metro Atlanta.

Meteorologists with the National Weather Service report a radar imagery revealed distinct signatures typically associated with falling meteorites.

Witnesses from as far south as Macon and as far north as Upstate South Carolina reported a bright flash in the sky. Moments later, many said they felt what appeared to be an earthquake — though officials have since attributed the shaking to a sonic boom.

ABC News revealed that one resident in Henry County, Georgia, reported a “rock” went through their ceiling around the time the fireball was spotted in the skies.

Back in the late 80s, we were in a duck blind in Nebraska around 6:00 a.ma and three of us saw something similar in the sky where it exploded and lit up the morning sky. Monitored the newspapers for spacer junk, meteor etc. but never did figure out what it was but it was cool to see.

Saw a similar fireball on Camp LeJeune one early morning on the Rifle Range, just before sunrise.

A huge GREEN fireball blazed horizontally across the sky from East to West, totally silent. It must have skipped across the atmosphere like a stone on a lake and then exited for parts unknown................

"that rock the resident reported going through his roof could be worth a fortune"

Yup, they've got the provenance / documentation already in hand.

A fragment of the comet Encke right there in their living room.

As I'm typing this, the Denver news just showed video of the fireball in this story.

Years ago I also saw a green fireball. It made kind of a sizzling sound. I was in south Georgia, I read later it landed somewhere in North Carolina.
