We were surprised to find this video from the security camera at the front door of our home. My wife heard a rumble just about the same time and went outside to see what was going on. She had no idea that a fireball had been sighted in Georgia until we heard the news reports. We reviewed our footage from the camera based on when she went outside and were able to find the 2 seconds of the fireball passing over. It was crazy and exciting to see something like that in the middle of the day and right in front of our camera!
