A fireball from a descending meteor lit up the sky north of Detroit on Tuesday night, creating a brief spectacle that people across the northern United States and parts of Canada reported seeing.

The meteor survived the Earth’s atmosphere and plummeted into view at 8:10 p.m. local time, causing the equivalent of a magnitude 2.0 earthquake, according to the United States Geological Survey. Videos showed a bright flash of light, followed by a pop almost like a light bulb burning out. Some people nearby reported hearing a sonic boom.

The American Meteor Society said people as far east as Pittsburgh and as far west as Madison, Wis., reported seeing the fireball. Others reported getting a glimpse in Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri and Ontario.
