A fireball was spotted shooting through the sky in the Southeastern U.S. as a meteor shower was reported in the area Thursday afternoon, officials said.
The meteor shower, which the National Weather Service confirmed, remained visible hours after the initial sightings, a spokesperson for Forsyth County Emergency Management Agency in Georgia said.
No impacts or injuries have been reported, the spokesperson said, adding that the shower is being monitored.
The National Weather Service office in Charleston said earlier <\/strong>there were “many reports of a fireball” across the region just before noon.
\u201cIt is not certain, but the satellite-based lightning detection shows a streak within cloud free sky over the NC\/VA border, over Gasbury, VA,\u201d between 11:51 to 11:56 a.m., the weather service said at the time. <\/a>
Videos shared on social media showed the fireball shoot down into a wooded area in South Carolina.
Kathryn Farr shared video of her car\u2019s dashcam as she was driving south on Interstate 85 toward Anderson, South Carolina, around 12:25 p.m.
\u201cNot something you see everyday,\u201d she wrote on Facebook.<\/a>
Another view from <\/a>Andrew Corley Road in Lexington, South Carolina, showed the suspected meteorite burning bright white with an orange flame tail before fizzling into a wooded area.
The Newton County sheriff\u2019s office in Georgia said it was notified by the weather service that the fireball was likely a meteor, \u201cand they believe more could possibly be on the way.\u201d
\u201cAt this time, we do not have any information on where the meteor may have landed,\u201d the sheriff\u2019s office said<\/a>, noting the fireball was reported by residents in and around Covington.
