A very bright meteor streaked across the skies of Atlanta Sunday night, NASA scientists revealed Monday.

NASA said that the meteor was "too bright for the all-sky camera in Cartersville to accurately determine the center of light."

The Meteoroid Environment Office reported the meteor's initial speed was around 23.6 km per second (52,800 mph).

The all-sky camera in Cartersville, Georgia, operated by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., captured a video and photos of the spectacular meteor.
