The South got rocked

by The 100 Companies

My sister and I were chatting when she asked, “Did you hear about the meteor over Atlanta?”

I figured she was joking. She lives in Oxford, Georgia, where it was first spotted lighting up the sky. NASA confirmed it was a chunk of asteroid, about three feet wide and over a ton, cruising at 30,000 miles per hour. After breaking apart, it released the energy of 20 tons of TNT. The resulting boom shook windows and baffled hundreds across the area.

No aliens, no movie-style crash site – just a surprise visit from space turning a normal day into something cosmic.
