Reports: Meteor Spotted Over New England

People who spotted the apparent meteor described it as a bright, colorful object streaking across the night sky.

 

Twitter was abuzz Friday night with reports of a large, bright meteor streaking across the night sky over the East Coast.

According to the Huffington Post, the object was described as bright green in color and visible for about 40 seconds. It was also described in multiple accounts as "sparking" or "flashing."

So far, there are no confirmed photos of the event. Several photos have circulated Twitter and Facebook, purporting to depict tonight's event, but at least two of the most widely shared of these depict earlier events (see here and here).
