Florida Fireballs Light Up the Night Sky (VIDEO)

It’s bad enough that meteorites are crashing into Russia, but last weekend some Florida fireballs lit up the night skies as well.

Floridians who happened to be in the right place at the right time on Sunday night saw quite a light show – possibly a sporadic meteor.

The U.S. Coast Guard began getting calls around 7:30 p.m. EST, with reports of people seeing fireballs in the sky from Jacksonville to Key West, according to Coast Guard Petty Officer 3rd Class Sabrina Laberdesque.

People called in, describing the flares “as orange or red fireballs in the sky,” Laberdesque said. The display was limited to the sky: No injuries were reported, Laberdesque said.
