David Livingston said he was stopped at an intersection in the West End around 6 p.m. when he saw a bright light in the southwest sky.
"It was very bright and green and possibly made it all the way to the ground," Livingston said.
Rhonda Sams from Cartersville also saw something she believed was a meteor or possibly space debris.
"My husband, son, and I were looking south toward Cumberland County and Route 60. It could have actually fell in Amelia County," Sams wrote. "Don't know what it was but it was bright and burning."
K. Learning said she was driving on I-95 south near the Doswell exit around 6 p.m. when she saw something bright in the sky.
"There was what looked like a ball of fire seen going at a rapid speed," Learning said. "The direction it was seen going was southwest."
Christy Dalton was driving on Route 288 when she reported seeing something "fall out of the sky."
Brian Hobbs also reported seeing the bright light.
"There was a long smoke trail left behind that dissipated very slowly," Hobbs wrote. "Really a neat thing to see."
Comment: Meteor fireball activity has increased dramatically in recent years. A few days prior to this sighting, mysterious house-shaking 'explosions' followed a 'flash of bright white light' around Bristol, which could be attributed to an overhead meteor explosion.
