Jacksonville, Florida - A number of First Coast News viewers say they saw something spectacular in the sky Tuesday night.

"An asteroid just went blazing through our backyard in Neptune Beach," wrote Ralph. "It was low and had a long fire tail. [It] looked like it was going to hit a house."

Julia in St. Augustine saw something similar over State Road 206.

"It looked like a fire ball, which was flying through the sky, then suddenly, it exploded into smaller rocks," wrote Julia. "The smaller fragments may have landed somewhere west of Crescent Beach. Once in a lifetime sight!"

People in Middleburg saw it as well.

It was very large and very low," said Christean Ramage. "It was trailing fire behind it and was white hot in the front. After watching it for about 5 seconds, it evaporated and disappeared before my eyes. I have never heard or seen of one so low and large, so at first I thought it was a bomb or missile (especially after all of this North Korean news)."

Cindy Hawkins just pulled into the driveway of her Middleburg home with her children.

"I looked up and saw the light blueish green darting across the sky," she said. "I told my kids it was a shooting star, ( I had never seen one before), and we better make a wish; so much for my wish for world peace."
