Massive fireball brings people to TEARS as it lights up the skies over Texas, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana and Florida - leaving some fearing 'Armageddon'
- A massive and incredibly bright meteor tore through the sky earlier this month to the amazement of many witnesses in the US southern states
- The American Meteor Society reported receiving 50 sightings of the giant fireball across six states
- One moved witness said they thought it was the end of days: 'I found myself looking for a mushroom cloud or Armageddon'
This is the terrifying moment a massive fireball lit up the sky over the South as a meteor shower had some fearing of 'Armageddon'.
Reports of more than 50 sightings across Texas, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana and Florida of a massive fireball flying through the sky were recorded by the American Meteor Society.
Witnesses said they saw a bright falling object light up the sky 'like fireworks' last Friday morning at around 4.30am.
Multiple recordings of the bright burst of falling light show flashed of green, blue, orange and yellow light

A massive fireball lit up the sky earlier this month, with witnesses across at least six southern states reporting sightings
One witness from Gulfport, Mississippi said 'it was incredible' and 'very large.'
'It was still the size of a car when it went behind the trees,' they added.
Dash and ring cameras across the south picked up the other-worldly sighting and have subsequently circulated online.
Several additional witnesses said it was by far the largest and brightest falling object they'd ever seen.
One from Frankston, Texas said they'd 'seen falling stars but nothing like this.'
'It was very clear and very vivid. I could see the heat coming off front circling around in a flame and trailing a trail of fire behind its path.'
Another witness from New Orleans said they were alarmed by the event, and thought it perhaps was the end.
'The magnitude of what I saw had me bracing for a catastrophic event. I was driving on a freeway when it happened and found myself looking for a mushroom cloud or Armageddon,' they said.
One person in Cheneyville, Louisiana said the meteor looked like it landed in some nearly fields, though it is still not clear exactly where it did land.
While the witness did not feel an explosion or any other sort of tremor, they emphasized the visuals of the experience from earlier this month.
'There wasn't an explosion that I am aware of but there was a flash, a flash that is a lot like fireworks going off that lights up everything for a brief moment,' they said.

Most witnesses reported seeing an incredibly bright flash of green, blue, yellow and orange light

Doorbell cameras across the south caught the early morning meteor zipping through the sky
In Alabama, one witness said the meteor nearly brought about tears.
'I have never seen anything like it at all. This was no shooting star. This was something much bigger and outstanding. I cannot even describe the spectacle it was.'
Last week, it was reported that witnesses across Louisiana caught a glimpse of the mysterious meteor - some theorizing that what they saw was alien life touching down in a UFO.
'That ain't no meteor, that's an alien ship warping into our space and time,' one person said of the doorbell footage.
'UFO must've stopped to get a poboy,' joked another person, referring to a sandwich originally from Louisiana.
