Europe EditionFireball Spotted over Southeast US May Have Been Caused by Meteor, American Meteor Society Says
- A large fireball was observed on June 25, 2025, across multiple states including Georgia and South Carolina, accompanied by loud booms and ground shaking reports.
- The fireball likely originated from a meteor traveling too fast to be part of known meteor showers, with data indicating its radiant was near constellations Cepheus or Camelopardalis.
- Officials and witnesses reported the fireball fading above trees on Faris Road, with calls to law enforcement and National Weather Service offices noting no initial damage but notable concern about a possible earthquake.
- Satellite and video evidence confirmed a streak in cloud-free skies over the NC/VA border between 12:51 and 12:56 pm, and the National Weather Service said it appears to be a meteorite.
- The event's broad geographic sightings from Tennessee to South Carolina and ongoing investigations suggest it may have involved multiple remnants and underscores continued monitoring of meteor activity.
