The American Meteor Society said it received more than 160 reports of a fireball sighting from observers in Georgia and South Carolina.

Remnants of a cosmic 'fireball' object witnessed soaring across Georgia may have broken off and plummeted through the roof of a home south of Atlanta.

A possible bright fireball shot across the Southeast sky on Thursday afternoon startling anyone who heard or felt it, according to hundreds of social media reports and fireball reports to astronomy organizations.
