You would have thought it was the day the earth stood still. Whatever it was, callers lit up the phones in the CBS12 newsroom. Experts believe a meteor streaked through the South Florida skies this evening.
Numerous reports of a large fireball in the sky were called into 911 dispatchers and our NewsChannel 5 newsroom Thursday evening. Viewers reported a large green and blue fireball falling from the southern sky around 4:55pm.
Hundreds of people reported seeing a fireball streak across the sky heading east over Palm Beach County. There are witnesses from as far south as west Boca Raton and as far north as Florida's Turnpike near the Beeline Highway.
