Social media was lit up by a falling meteor that lit up the skies over northern Florida on Saturday night.

The sight was so astonishing that one driver’s dashboard camera captured him shouting “What the f--- was that!” after the blazing space rock plummeted to Earth.

Videos posted by witnesses who happened to be out driving — and who had their dash cams turned on— showed the meteor streaking down over the Florida sky at about 11:55 Saturday night.

1. Since AF-1 had already landed, I went back to sleep.

Maybe another time.

4. Meteorite.

6. Meteor falling, meteorite after impact with the Earth's surface.

Meteorite: a meteor that survives its passage through the earth's atmosphere such that part of it strikes the ground.

7. That was the point. It clearly made it to ground.

I'm sure hunters are on it.

15. They are not sure that it did reach the ground n/t

5. Relatively big meteors like that are amazing with the light, flames, and smoke.

Saw a couple under the dark AZ skies and it was awe inspiring.

9. Most awe inspiring thing I've ever seen was the recent total eclipse of the sun!

Next on my bucket list is a big, falling meteor or meteorite!

10. Yeah, the total solar eclipse was mind boggling.

I was lucky that I only had to drive 5 hours north to see it perfectly.

The solar eclipse twilight is indescribable.

11. We were only an hour away from Independence, MO, where it was a perfect view also.

It's one of those things one can never forget. Another one is coming in a few years, not sure exactly when. But we'll drive to Dallas where there's supposed to be an even more awe inspiring view.

If Dump doesn’t start a nuclear war by then.

It will be double the length of August 21, 2017. Runs on arc from Mexico all the way up to Newfoundland.
