Was it a bird? A plane? A lot of people are wondering what lit up the sky around 11:15 p.m. on Sunday.

The mysterious blue light was seen flying over Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania. The fireball was left by Halley's Comet and was part of a meteor shower that peaked last week.

All those who saw it say it really was a sight.

Judy Spaulding says, "It was just amazing. We thought it was lightning but it couldn't have been it was blue and it lit up the whole the sky. It was weird. That's all I can say. It was weird."

"You think maybe UFO. You never know with everything that going on," says Carl Lovingshimer.

An amateur astronomer in Hocking County in southeast Ohio says a fireball lit up the sky for about two seconds and then left a trail of light and smoke that lasted for several minutes.

He describes fireballs as large, bright meteors.

Craig Kelly from COSI says, "When the earth plows through that, that's when you see a meteor show. This time it was hitting the Earth at 66 kilometers per second."

It is unknown where the meteor landed. It is believed to have landed somewhere on earth, but no reports
just yet.

*Did anyone see this?*
