A mysterious fireball blazed across the sky in broad daylight on June 26, sparking hundreds of siting reports in Georgia and South Carolina.

A meteorite that crashed into a Georgia home in June is older than the Earth itself, according to scientists who are studying the space rock. Onlookers in the Southeast were stunned when a fireball streaked across the sky on June 26.

Multiple fragments of the newly named McDonough Meteorite tore through the roof of a home in Henry County on June 26, according to a local news outlet. The fragments were later handed over to a planetary geologist and impact expert at the University of Georgia for it to be analyzed.
