What we were not allowed to see at R. Kelly's trial
Stunning video of a fireball streaking across the sky above North Carolina last week has been released. The American Meteor Society shared video taken Friday from the porch of a home in Rowland Pond, North Carolina, showing a massive fireball fall from the sky.

NASA says the fireball fell over the North Carolina coast
at around 7:40 p.m. and was one of at least five fireballs
seen over the U.S. in the same night.

Fireballs are bright meteors categorized as brighter than the planet

Venus, according to the society, a nonprofit that monitors meteors.

On Friday, the organization received 148 fireball reports from Maryland,
North Carolina, South Carolina, West Virginia and Virginia.

The fireball in North Carolina had the largest group of eyewitness accounts,
with more than 80 people reporting it.

NASA says an analysis of these accounts shows the meteor
was visible 48 miles above the ocean off Camp Lejeune
and soared northeast at about 32,000 miles per hour.

It traveled 26 miles through Earth's upper atmosphere
then disintegrated 28 miles above Morehead City on the coast.

Meteoroids usually enter the earth's atmosphere
at 25,000 mph to 160,000 mph but rapidly decelerate
as they travel through the atmosphere, according to the society.

The fireball was captured in at least two different videos.

The one obtained by AMS has gone viral, with nearly 95,000 views.

Because of the moon phases last week,
with a full moon on September 20, 2021
there was a limited opportunity to view meteors
between moon set and dawn, according to AMS.

Still, dozens of stargazers were able to spot meteors.
