The astronomical event was sighted throughout Ohio, with some Twitter users reporting their first sighting at around 6:30 a.m.

Luke Starner, who lives in Lancaster, Ohio, captured a dazzling video of the fireball streaking across the sky from a camera at his home.

ODOT cameras caught a brief, bright flash of light, with sightings reported brighter in eastern Ohio.

The flash was captured on an ODOT camera in the Youngstown area.

According to the America Meteor Society (AMS), the event was spotted all over the East Coast and Midwest, including Ohio, D.C., Kentucky, New York, Ontario and West Virginia.

The AMS received more than 260 reports about what it calls a "fireball event" over Ohio at around 6:24 a.m. EDT.

The current meteor shower is called Southern Taurids, which is active now through Nov. 20, according to AMS.

The AMS said several thousand meteors of fireball magnitude occur in the Earth's atmosphere each day. The vast majority occur over oceans and uninhabited areas. When these occur at night, they stand little chance of being seen due to the lower number of persons out to notice them.
