VIDEO: Meteorite Crash Sparks PANIC Across South Carolina, Georgia After 'FIREBALL' Seen In Sky

A fiery object spotted blazing through skies above South Carolina, Georgia, and nearby states on Thursday afternoon has triggered investigations and emergency responses across the region. Multiple fire departments in South Carolina’s Upstate launched searches for a possible meteorite crash site after 12:20 p.m. Witnesses described a bright "fireball in the sky," and in Georgia, one homeowner reported a rock crashed through their roof. Officials are working to determine whether the object was a meteorite — a space rock that survived atmospheric entry — and if it impacted any populated areas. #MeteoriteCrash #SouthCarolina #GeorgiaFireball #FireballSighting #SpaceRock #Meteor #Meteorite #NASA #BreakingNews #MeteorCrash #UpstateFireball #MeteorSouthCarolina #HenryCountyCrash #SpaceAlert #MeteoriteNews #MeteorSky #FireballWatch #EmergencyResponse #SpaceEvent #MeteoriteImpact Also Read Orionids meteor shower: When and Where to watch in India :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/orionids-meteor-shower-when-and-where-to-watch-in-india-2965516.html?ref=DMDesc Chile: Oldest meteorite collection on Earth discovered in Atacama Desert :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/chile-oldest-meteorite-collection-on-earth-discovered-in-atacama-desert-2895379.html?ref=DMDesc Geminid Meteor Shower to peak tonight: Where and how to watch in India :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/geminid-meteor-shower-peak-tonight-where-how-to-watch-india-2822045.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~GR.122~ED.346~

Strait Of Hormuz In CHAOS: Three Ships Ablaze Near Strait Of Hormuz Amid Israel-Iran Conflict [Video]

Strait Of Hormuz In CHAOS: Three Ships Ablaze Near Strait Of Hormuz Amid Israel-Iran Conflict

Amid soaring Israel-Iran tensions, dramatic images on social media show three ships engulfed in flames off the Gulf of Oman near the critical Strait of Hormuz. While authenticity remains unverified, NASA’s FIRMS data also detected fires in the same zone. The area, a vital artery for global oil, has long been a flashpoint. No official Emirati response has surfaced yet. As Israel pounds Iran’s military sites, fears rise over possible retaliation through trade disruption, especially a blockade of Hormuz, which sees over 20 million barrels of oil pass daily. #IsraelIranTensions #StraitOfHormuz #GulfOfOmanFire #MiddleEastCrisis #OilTradeThreat #ShipFireGulf #HormuzBlockadeFears #FIRMSData #IranStrikeBack #IsraelIranWar #OilRouteAtRisk #GlobalOilSupply #MaritimeSecurity #TankerFirePhotos #UnverifiedImages #GeopoliticalFlashpoint #TehranVsTelAviv #HormuzCrisis #GulfMaritimeAlert #BreakingMiddleEast ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.125~

Obama Lashes Out At Trump's ‘Lie and Confuse’ Strategy, Warns Plan to Turn US Into a Dictatorship

Former President Barack Obama has issued a stark warning about the direction of U.S. democracy, accusing Donald Trump and his allies of weakening democratic norms and echoing authoritarian tactics. Speaking at an event in Connecticut and in a separate interview, Obama compared the U.S. to nations like Hungary and Russia, where elections happen but leaders ignore the people’s voice. He urged judges, officials, and citizens to protect the Constitution and reject misinformation, warning that when truth is lost, dictatorship begins to take root. #TrumpVsObama #TrumpInauguration #ObamaInauguration #ObamaTrump #TrumpNews #ObamaSpeech #TrumpRally #AngryObama #DonaldTrump #BarackObama #TrumpThirdTerm #TrumpFourthTerm #MelaniaTrump #MichelleObama #TrumpAdministration #PresidentTrump #PresidentObama #TrumpImpression #TrevorNoahTrump #ObamaJokes #DailyShowTrump #TrumpPresidency #TrumpTariffs #ObamaMeyers #ObamaVsTrump #TrumpLatest #TrumpCorrespondents #TrumpComparison #TrumpVsObamaCrowds #TrumpVsObamaPolicies Also Read Trump Intends To Resolve North Korea Conflict Amid Reports Of Rejected Letter :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-intends-to-resolve-north-korea-conflict-amid-reports-of-rejected-letter-7785511.html?ref=DMDesc US Will Soon Sign Very Big Deal With India: Trump :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-will-soon-sign-very-big-deal-with-india-trump-7784501.html?ref=DMDesc ‘Great American Pilots Very Upset’: Trump Flips Again on Iran Strike Damage :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-debates-us-strikes-impact-on-iran-nuclear-programme-011-7783495.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~

Trump BETRAYED By Own Appointed Judge In Tariff Ban | Prez Blames 'Sleazebag' Judicial Adviser [Video]

Trump BETRAYED By Own Appointed Judge In Tariff Ban | Prez Blames 'Sleazebag' Judicial Adviser

President Trump is fuming after one of his own judicial appointees, Timothy M. Reif, helped block his tariff plan targeting U.S. trade partners. Reif, a Democrat who served under both Obama and Trump, was part of a three-judge panel that issued the ruling. Trump took aim at Leonard Leo, co-chair of the Federalist Society, calling him a “sleazebag” and accusing him of betraying America by recommending Reif. The decision has since been paused by a full 11-judge panel, but Trump’s fiery rant on Truth Social reveals growing frustration over legal roadblocks. #Trump #Tariffs #JudgeReif #FederalistSociety #LeonardLeo #TariffBlock #TrumpAppointees #TruthSocial #USPolitics #TradeWar #JudiciaryNews #CourtBattle #TrumpRant #LegalDrama #TradePolicy #TrumpVsJudges #JudicialAppointments #TariffPolicy #BlockedTariffs #TrumpCourtPicks #Reif #LeonardLeoControversy #USJudges #CourtRuling #NewsAlert #BreakingPolitics #TradeNews #TrumpMeltdown #FederalCourt #TrumpTruthSocial Also Read Appeals Court Allows Trump To Continue Collecting Tariffs Under Emergency Powers Law For Now :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/appeals-court-allows-trump-to-continue-collecting-tariffs-under-emergency-powers-law-for-now-4167703.html?ref=DMDesc Harvard Granted One Month Extension In Trump Dispute Over International Student Ban: Reports :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/harvard-granted-one-month-extension-in-trump-dispute-over-international-student-ban-reports-4167515.html?ref=DMDesc Elon Musk Exits Trump Administration After Slamming ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ on His Way Out :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/elon-musk-exits-trump-administration-after-slamming-big-beautiful-bill-on-his-way-out-4166709.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.102~GR.125~
