Fireball streaks across southern US, lighting up early morning sky
A bright fireball was observed streaking across the southern U.S. skies early Sunday, visible in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, and Texas. The event was captured by WAFB's Sky9 cameras and viewer-submitted footage, but there is no indication the meteor reached the ground. The American Meteor Society defines fireballs as exceptionally bright meteors caused by space debris entering Earth's atmosphere.
