Meteors Fireballs & Explosions Over SouthEast

Monday, March 30th, 2009

Looks like we have another exciting event! Fireballs from the sky, meteors, explosions! Sonic booms and fireball sightings have been reported all over the SouthEast from Maryland to Virgina and last week Georgia had it’s own big boom too. Over Augusta Georgia at around 3 a.m. on the 20th a fireball was sighted followed by a tremendous boom heard all over the Augusta Aiken area which had the whole town speculating on the event.

Unlike in Georgia though, the event last night in Virginia and Maryland has everyone looking to the skies for answers. What could it have been? A meteor most likely, and there might even be meteorites on the ground. Reports are numerous and the investigation is on for more information about this exciting event.
