McDONOUGH, Ga.—An object bright enough to be seen streaking across the midday sky fell across parts of the Southeast U.S. on Thursday.
The object was likely either a meteor or space junk, with most sightings of the streak of light and fireball coming from Georgia and South Carolina around 12:30 p.m., the National Weather Service office in Peachtree City, Georgia, said on social media.
