Residents in Tallahassee were also treated to the astronomical light show, with some saying the meteor was so bright it almost looked like “daylight.”
“It was like someone turned on the stadium lights,” Jania Kadar told the Tallahassee Democrat. “I look up and there is this bluish-green flash. It almost looks like daylight.
“It lasted… it felt like seconds. The second my brain wanted me to say, ‘what is that,’ it was over,” she added.
The weather agency said it had received reports the meteor “landed near Perry,” but officials had yet to confirm.
