GREENVILLE, S.C. -- The National Weather Service and emergency dispatchers from across the Upstate say they got numerous calls overnight from people who heard a loud explosion that was followed by lights streaking across the sky.

NWS staffers said they got a call from Greenville police around 2 a.m. They said after they started getting calls, they checked the security camera at the National Weather Service and saw a faint, barely recognizable flash of light at 1:42 a.m.

A NWS representative told News 4 it may have been a meteor, but that his agency does not investigate these events.

NASA would be the source to confirm meteor activity. The agency has not yet returned a call to News 4.

In Spartanburg County alone, dispatchers took about 75 calls, and reports are coming in from as far away as Lexington, N.C. and Carrollton, Ga.

This morning I was on my back deck smoking a cigarette and talking on the phone when I witnessed this amazing site fall from the sky. My backyard is usually very dark, but this "thing" that fell lit up EVERYTHING around me.

I would describe this object as a boxy looking meteor. It's tail was miles long. The colors that surrounded it were blue, white, red and streaking yellows. I was ecstatic! The woman I was talking too was kind of freaked out about by my moaning and screaming. lol Fortunately for me there were A LOT of these same types of reports all over the Southern and Midwest parts of the United States.

What could it have been?

Here is another link to a site where people report meteor sitings. As you will see there were reports from all over the place.
