Witnesses from Georgia, South Carolina, and Tennessee claimed seeing the object.

Some individuals questioned if they saw a meteor.

“A meteor just exploded over Atlanta and appears to have potentially left shards somewhere in South Carolina!” atmospheric scientist and storm chaser Matthew Cappucci said.

“The American Meteor Society has 128 formal reports pending of a fireball spotted around 12:24 PM Eastern time. It appears to have passed over Atlanta and exploded before fragmenting and potentially leaving meteorites over parts of South Carolina,” he continued.

“The GOES East (GOES 19) geostationary lightning mapper detected a bright flash over Atlanta at 12:24 PM. There wasn’t any lightning – meaning this appears to have been the meteor,” he added.

Daily Mail reports:

Police scanner audio in Spartanburg, South Carolina captured a call from a woman who reported a ‘giant ball of fire’ falling from the sky, a sight echoed by witnesses from Tennessee to Georgia.

‘I’m not crazy! I just saw a huge ball of fire fall from the sky in East Tennessee around the Cherokee National Forest!’ a firefighter wrote on X.

‘Anyone else see it? Right around 12:20pm ET. Very cool but a little unnerving given the current times!’

While some speculated it could have been a falling aircraft, the firefighter described it as ‘like a mini sun falling with a tail of fire.’

In Georgia, one resident said they not only saw the object, but heard it pass overhead and felt the ground shake when it hit.

The National Weather Service confirmed the many reports across the Southeast US saying: ‘It is not certain, but the satellite-based lightning detection shows a streak within cloud-free sky over the NC/VA border, over Gasbury, VA.

‘This streak was detected between 12:51 to 12:56 pm.’
