NASA says fireballs don't typically stay intact while passing through Earth's atmosphere, and sometimes fragments, or meteorites, can be recovered on the ground. The incredible speed of the fireball is common, but they can reach up to 160,000 miles per hour as they enter Earth's atmosphere before rapidly decelerating, according to the American Meteor Society. The American Meteor Society said they received 148 reports of a fireball seen in Maryland, South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia on the same night. It disintegrated 28 miles above Morehead City, after traveling 26 miles through Earth’s upper atmosphere."

"There were many reports of at least 5 fireballs seen over the United States last night," NASA said in a Facebook post.
