Big Boom Heard Across the Upstate

Several media outlets in the Upstate had reports of a large boom and bright lights streaking across the sky.

The boom was heard and felt in parts of Georgia, in the upstate of South Carolina and western North Carolina.

According to WYFF, the National Weather Service said it began receiving calls about 2 a.m.

The story said that after checking the security tapes at the National Weather service, they saw a bright light in the sky around 1:42 a.m.

Spartanburg County reported receiving more than 70 calls on the incident, according to the report.

On the Fox Carolina Facebook page, viewers reported the noise sounded as if something had hit their house, while others said they slept through it.

WSPA's Amy Wood tweeted, "I heard it. Thought someone was breaking in a basement door!!!"
