VIDEO: Panic As Meteor Is Recorded Barreling Towards Earth

A suspected meteor lit up the skies over southeastern Michigan on Tuesday, erupting with a loud bang and even shaking houses as it streaked overhead.

According to the National Weather Service, the fireball appeared in the sky around 8:10 p.m. ET and was bright enough to be seen across six states, including Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and even Canada. Even crazier, the United States Geological Survey confirmed that the meteor caused a magnitude 2.0 earthquake near New Haven in Macomb County, Michigan.

Unsurprisingly, the spectacular incident caused many witnesses to call 911, but the Ingham County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management confirmed on Facebook that the fireball was indeed a meteor and not a concern to call authorities about.

Many people caught footage of the meteor flash on their home security cameras, which was so bright that it momentarily looked like daylight.
