Falling star! (Mauldin: live, yard, office)

[boernomore]

i was out for a walk this evening at 830 or 900 in greer, and a large object flashed across the sky, did you see it, behind the cloud cover it was white and very large, then 1 minute later we heard a sonic boom, did anyone else see it, it was amazing.

I heard the sonic boom, but was indoors.

I live near Mauldin and I heard something - at the time I thought it was faint thunder - around 9pm. I didn't think anything of it since there's been so much thunder lately, but it was probably the same thing you heard.

So that’s what it was. My wife and I held the bang in Mauldin and didn't know what the source was. I even turned on the police scanner and heard a call go out to investigate a loud noise but the officer reported back that it was just thunder. Thanks for posting, now it all make sense!

I wonder if this was the same object: http://myfox8.com/2012/08/29/photo-meteorfireball-spotted-over-north-carolina/?

agreed. We are also in Mauldin and I looked outside because I thought it might have been thunder and after I did that it didn't look like it would have been thunder just looking at the sky . I was a little puzzled but didn't think any more of it.
