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

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~
