Is the sky falling on us?
More than 7 fireballs were reported disintegrating in the US and the UK in the last four days!
A bright flash in the sky was caught in the sky around 6:16 a.m. on January 30, 2017. It was a short trail, exploding fireball that lasted around three seconds.
There were several sightings in Collierville and scattered reports from Louisville, KY to Austin, TX.
This other fireball was seen flying over Huntersville, NC on January 25, 2017:
Just a few hours before, several people reported hearing two large “bangs” and felt the earth shake just after 3 p.m. in San Diego. Moreover, a mysterious burning light was seen hovering over Brigshaw High School in Allerton Bywater, Leeds, at around 4.30pm on January 24, 2017.

I remember seeing a bright bluish fireball early one morning in January 2000 in southeast Alabama. I was out on my farm around 4 am and the sky and surrounding area lit up a brilliant bluish-white as if lightning had struck nearby. I looked up and saw a bright bluish-white fireball. It had a long tail and appeared to be low in the sky and moving slowly. After about 3 seconds it faded out. A truly astonishing experience!
Thanks, yes fireballs are always amazing events.
In Virginia Beach VA on January 26th around 7:30 PM my sister and I saw light as we were at an intersection.
Round orb no tail and it looked low…….then it just disappeared. I lost sleep over it.
Thank you!
I saw one near Southport, IN around 4:00pm today, Jan 30. It looked just like some of the above videos. Is there a place I can send a picture?
