A met stone was discovered Thursday that could pass through the southeastern US skies.
The National Weather Service office in Charleston said there were “many reports of fireballs” throughout the region just before noon.
“That’s not certain, but satellite-based lightning detection shows stripes in the cloudless sky across the NC/VA border in Gasbury, Virginia, from 11:51am to 11:56am.
A video shared on social media shows a fireball being shot down into a wooded area of South Carolina.
Kathryn Far shared a video of his car’s dash cam as he was driving south on Interstate 85 towards Anderson, South Carolina around 12:25pm
“It’s not something you see every day,” she wrote on Facebook.
Another view from Andrew Colley Road in Lexington, South Carolina showed suspected metstones burning bright white with orange flame tails before thrust into the wooded area.
Georgia’s Newton County Sheriff’s Office said the National Weather Service had notified that the fireball is likely a meteor.
“At this time there is no information on where the meteor landed,” the sheriff’s office said fireballs had been reported by residents in Covington and surrounding area.
