Stargazers are gearing up for not 1, but 3 celestial events heading into the end of the month. Starting on July 7th, this minor meteor shower is known for producing what the American Meteor Society calls “fireballs.

Fireballs fall on the Earth every day—but the one that just streaked across the southeastern U.S. this week was unlike the rest. Here’s why.

Last weekend, numerous people from Connecticut to New Hampshire spotted one of those streaks during the early morning hours on Saturday. The American Meteor Society received 10 fireball reports from the Northeastern U.

The ‘scary’ fireball that witnesses saw shooting across the sky in several U.S. states on June 26 has been identified. NASA confirmed to PEOPLE that the moving object was a meteor caused by a small space rock burning up after entering Earth’s atmosphere.

A fireball seemed to fall through the sky over North Branford over the weekend, according to observations reported to the American Meteor Society. Mark S. reported the white-colored fireball traveled from top right to down left in the sky around 1:20 a.

Officials across metro Atlanta and in parts of the Southeast U.S. reported sightings of a "fireball" streaking across the sky.

The Perseids, alpha Capricornids and Southern delta Aquariids are all currently active, with the latter two peaking in late July.
