A fireball was spotted shooting through the sky in the Southeastern U.S. as a meteor shower was reported in the area Thursday afternoon, officials said.

The meteor shower, which the National Weather Service confirmed, remained visible hours after the initial sightings, a spokesperson for Forsyth County Emergency Management Agency in Georgia said.

No impacts or injuries have been reported, the spokesperson said, adding that the shower is being monitored.

Henry County Emergency Management said occupants of a house there reported that a "rock" fell through their ceiling, shortly after the time of the reported meteor shower, just before 12:30 p.m., the National Weather Service office in Peachtree City, Georgia, said on Facebook.

The NWS said it was likely that a piece of the object — what it called a meteor or "space junk" — fell and, EMA said, pierced the home's roof, then the ceiling, before cracking the laminate floor and coming to a stop.
