Meteor in Florida: a big green meteor illuminates the night sky of Florida and Georgia

The National Meteorological Service (NWS) has confirmed meteor illuminated the night sky across Florida and Georgia on Saturday. Videos show the burning meteor when it fell on the Earth, producing a bright green light.

The NWS at Tallahassee, which covers North Florida, Southeastern Alabama and Southwestern Georgia, tweeted about the meteor late Saturday. The meteorological agency reported that the space object had been recorded on its Geostationary Lightning Mapper, which is used to track the lighting, around 23:52.

Some witnesses who saw the meteor were confused by what they had just seen. Jeffrey Cardona, Twitter user, posted a video showing the fireball descending to the horizon, with the message "Can any one explain that!"

Others have spectacular images of the meteor that falls from space, including the video below.

Others were simply amazed at what they saw.

"We saw it south from our back yard in Valdosta, Georgia, around 11:55 pm." a Twitter user wrote. "Very bright, green hue, brightening the sky for almost a few seconds in the light of day.The biggest or the closest I've seen for 30 years." Really great! "

NWS was trying to locate if the remains of the meteor had landed somewhere, but it was probably burned when it penetrated into the atmosphere.
