It sounded like thunder, shaking houses across metro Detroit at roughly 8:15 p.m. Tuesday.
The National Weather Service for Detroit posted a since-deleted reply on Twitter at 8:25 p.m.: "No lightning was detected. Appears to have been a meteor."
Multiple images were posted of night skies being lit up, as social media is abuzz with people reporting what they saw or heard.
