Well, this was pretty cool. People in Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Tennessee reported seeing this potential meteorite around 12:20 ET.
From Fox Weather:
A possible bright fireball meteor shot across the Southeast sky Thursday afternoon, startling anyone who heard or felt it, according to hundreds of social media reports and fireball reports submitted to astronomy organizations.
Between 12:15 and 12:30 p.m. ET more than 100 reports of a fireball were submitted to the American Meteor Society website from Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee.
And as far as the location of the space rock, here's Atlanta First News:
Henry County [Georgia] Emergency Management said it has sent crews to a home after its owner reported at least one rock crashing through their roof. The department said it is working to find out if the incident is related to the possible meteorite.
Meanwhile, WHNS, Atlanta News First's sister station in Greenville, South Carolina, reported that multiple agencies are looking into reports of a possible crashed meteorite in the upper part of the state.
