Bright Fireball Spotted Across Multiple States Likely a Meteor
Residents across Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee and the Carolinas reported a bright fireball around 8 p.m. Thursday; the American Meteor Society says it was likely a meteor, with researchers still reconstructing its path as more sightings come in. NASA noted an update about Van Allen Probe A's re-entry. Viewers are urged to share photos or video with WRAL's Report It page or the AMS Fireball log to help scientists pinpoint the trajectory.
