The streaking ball of fire Friday night above the East Coast did not, for now at least, signal the end to civilization as we know it.Though you might get that sense from social media.

The sky lit up along the U.S. eastern seaboard with reports of “a thin streak of blue-greenish-white” from people like Chip Guy, who was driving in eastern Maryland when he and his family he spotted it.

“It didn’t last more than eight or nine seconds, then it disappeared,” said Guy, a spokesman for Sussex County, Delaware. “Frankly, I didn’t think too much of it.”

But his tune changed once he posted something about the presumed meteor on a local social media web page, which triggered a quick and hearty response.
