A fireball that streaked across the sky over Georgia was identified as a large meteor, and a piece of the space debris crashed through the roof of a home.

The fireball is presumed to be from a meteor fragmenting in the sky, according to meteorologists and other experts.

A meteor moving at 30,000 miles per hour lit up the skies over South Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia, causing a sonic boom and leaving debris behind. NASA says it's part of a rare but not unheard-of meteor event.
