A bright fireball streaked across the Southeastern US sky on Thursday, witnessed across multiple states including Georgia and South Carolina. The object, possibly a meteor or space debris, was seen around 12:30 p.m. In Henry County, Georgia, a reported rock pierced a roof around the time of a sonic boom, causing minor damage. Emergency officials are investigating, and over 140 reports were filed with the American Meteor Society. While space debris frequently enters the atmosphere, daytime visibility of such a bright fireball is uncommon.
