"Mysterious Bright Flash Sighted Over Alabama Raises Questions"

A bright flash was spotted over north Alabama on Sunday night, with no definitive ruling on what the object's identity. The American Meteor Society explained that meteoroids can create a brief flash of moving light in the sky as they descend through the Earth’s atmosphere. While it's not a common time of year for spotting meteoroids, there were two separate sightings on March 2, and the next meteor shower on the calendar will be the Lyrids from April 14-30.
