It's tin foil hat time people.

A massive fireball was seen in the skies over multiple states inĀ America yesterday and the cause of it has left everyone baffled, including the experts in NASA. Put this together with the recent footage of mysterious objects leaving our atmosphere and we think it's officially time to get worried.

Described as a 'bright event seen across several Southeast states', not even the big brains in NASA HQ could identify the cause of the show, saying: 'Based on the data we currently have, this object was not a meteor or fireball'. It was reportedly moving atĀ 14,500 miles per hour which is apparently 'too slow to be a meteor'.

The most likely explanation is space debris reentering the atmosphere, which explains why it was moving so slowly and why it broke up into multiple pieces, but that doesn't have everyone convinced.

Plenty of people caught the action for themselves throughout the American southeast, with quick-handed residents in Georgia and elsewhere capturing video of the fireball.

And as always, there were plenty who were just dumbfounded.
