A fireball that streaked across the sky over Georgia was identified as a large meteor, and a piece of the space debris crashed through the roof of a home.

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

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.
