Was there a meteor over Nashville last night? Actually, there were two.

Tennessee residents are aglow on social media asking each other the same question: Did you see it?

A bright fireball lit up the sky around 9 p.m. Tuesday, stopping some people in their tracks and calling others to their windows to see where the unexpected light came from.

Soon after, Nashville residents went to Facebook and Reddit to discuss.

"I just saw a crazy ball of fire falling from the sky out of my window in Edgehill," one Reddit user said in the Nashville subreddit. "It was bright blue and unlike any meteor I have ever seen. Did anyone else see it?! It was BIG."

On the East Nashville Facebook group, Ben Sawyer said it was the brightest shooting star he'd ever seen.

"Saw it in Inglewood made me jump off the couch," Alex Ricchiuto replied. "I wasn't even looking outside and it lit up our living room."

Bryan Jones chimed in that some saw it in McMinnville and others linked to video from a doorbell camera in Smyrna showing the fireball leaving a trail behind it before dying out.

Watch: NASA video captures fireball meteors over Tennessee

There were actually two meteors spotted over Nashville on Tuesday night, according to Vanderbilt Dyer Observatory Director Billy Teets. One was barely visible at 8:38 p.m. Central time and another appeared to be much brighter and more prominent at 9:02 p.m.

"In fact, it was so bright that it was seen from middle Michigan to central Alabama and from Maryland to Missouri," NASA Meteoroid Environment Office Lead William J. Cooke said in an email. "This meteor was brighter than the full moon at its peak."

A satellite also picked it up, Cooke said. He believes it was part of the Taurid meteor shower, which is set to peak overnight on Nov. 11 through early Nov. 12.

Cameras at the Dyer Observatory, which is in Brentwood, caught small glimpses of both meteors.

Here's a video of the first one spotted at 8:38 p.m. Watch for the white brackets at the bottom center of the screen highlighting the fireball.

And here's a look at the second one. Keep an eye on the top center part of the screen to spot the meteor.

NASA: Meteors reported across Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee on Tuesday

Tennessee was not the only place that saw meteors on Tuesday, according to Cooke.

"Mother Nature put on quite a show last night for skywatchers in the southeast," Cooke said. "At least seven bright meteors, many of them belonging to the Taurid meteor shower, were reported by folks enjoying the nice weather outdoors."

Things kicked off with a fireball first seen at 8:38 p.m. over Jasper, Alabama — which was also spotted briefly over Nashville.

"Surprisingly, it was not a Taurid," Cooke said.

Instead, he believes it was a cometary fragment from the outer solar system moving at around 63,000 mph.

The next one was just after 9 p.m., which was the one that dazzled Tennesseans and others across the country.

A third bright meteor flashed over central Tennessee in the Murfreesboro area a few minutes later. It was a Taurid, moving at 67,000 mph, Cooke said. Four other bright — but less intense — meteors were also detected Tuesday night.
