Daylight Meteorite Streaks Across Southeastern US Sky, Sparks Widespread Sightings

A dazzling fireball, identified as a possible meteorite, illuminated the daytime sky across the southeastern United States on June 26. Multiple eyewitness reports and dashcam footage captured the bright object as it streaked through the atmosphere. The National Weather Service office in Charleston confirmed receiving numerous reports of the 'fireball' across the region. The phenomenon was observed in several states, including South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and North Carolina, indicating its high altitude and widespread visibility. Experts suggest that such daylight sightings of meteorites are relatively uncommon, making this event particularly notable. The clear conditions on Thursday allowed many residents to witness the celestial display.
