If you haven't heard by now, an object streaked across the Louisiana sky early Wednesday, prompting queries from the National Weather Service, NASA, local meteorologists and authorities. The object was a meteor, NASA said.However, the agency said the source of the object is a "mystery," because no video or photos were seen of the object, so it's tough to determine an orbit and origin.

The photos were submitted by Amy Retcher Dyess, Kory Banks and Jay Bird. Two of the photos showed a bright green object in the sky with a squiggly trail behind it. The sightings began being reported at 6:47 a.m.NASA said it received more than 100 reports from Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia. The National Weather Service received hundreds of reports of the "fireball event." WDSU received dozens of emails and social media posts about the event.

It was first seen 65 miles above Sawyersville, Alabama and moved west at about 89,000 mph. "It appears to have fragmented 41 miles above Louisville, Mississippi," NASA said. "Estimates of the brightness indicate that the object weighed about 5 pounds and was roughly 5 inches in diameter." NASA said that a reliable orbit can't be determined, which means the source of the object is a "mystery" at this time. What NASA can say, though, is that it was a natural meteor. However, it wasn't part of the Orionid meteor shower. Did you see it and snapped a photo? Share it was us on social media or email it to us atnewsdesk@wdsu.com.
