Residents in Louisiana and Mississippi have reported a flash of light that for a brief moment turned the night into day.
Officials at the National Weather Service in New Orleans identified the flash of light as that from a meteor that streaked across the sky shortly after 4:30 a.m. Friday morning.
The fireball was reported to local news outlets from Hattiesburg, Tylertown, Baton Rouge, New Orleans and Houma, Louisiana.
Several doorbell video systems and other cameras across the region recorded images of the meteor.
Here are a few of the videos of the meteor that have been posted on Twitter:
