Residents of four US states - Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee - have anxiously reported a loud blast. Their first suggestion was a meteor, but more frightening versions followed.
Some said, though, that they saw the actual meteor, and in some pictures, one can see a bright flash of light in the sky.
