The American Meteorological Association said it received more than 200 reports about the incident.

According to Fox, an eyewitness at Silver Spring, Maryland, 'It's like a plane is on fire at close range.'

'It followed a huge yellow tail full of fire and appeared right in the sky of the city', according to another witness in Virginia Beach.

'It is like preparing to fall to the city' , according to another person.

Many people describe the meteorite as white, blue or green, but some mistaken it as flares, seemingly about to stab the ground.

A similar event occurred at the beginning of the week, with at least 100 discoverers from Maryland to Connecticut.
