Bright meteor spotted in eastern Oklahoma

Video: Several Oklahomans caught what experts call a 'fireball' on their security cameras

A bright meteor was seen and heard over Oklahoma early Friday morning.

The meteor entered the atmosphere over eastern Oklahoma around 3:39 a.m. A loud boom was heard a few minutes later.

Many people reported their house shaking from the shockwave. FOX23 viewers reported seeing a light across the sky or hearing a loud boom from Bixby, Broken Arrow, Coweta, Wagoner and as far as Fayetteville, Ark.

The Geostationary Lightning Mapper, normally used to locate lightning strikes, shows a bright flash, or blue dot, over Wagoner County.
