What the Blazing Hades is this?

RSOE -Event into Space-North Carolina

What does that mean? Did North Carolina suddenly levitate into space?
did aliens land and take back off?
did someone create a rocket ship in their backyard, and blasted themselves towards the stars?

of course those reasons are the assumptions of a jokily maddened mind...

but what is it really?

*****Mystery Solved: Read Below*****

WTF? That's got to be a typo or some kind of error.... or not?

Here's your explanation, "possible meteorite."

Giant fireball. it states ...

"Calls and emails have been coming into the newsroom about a fireball streaking across the sky Tuesday night. It appears what people saw was a meteor like the one in the picture accompanying this story, but maybe not quite as big. We received calls emails and from people in Beaufort County, Kinston, Camp Lejeune, and Winterville all describing the same thing around 7:30: A blue-green fireball streaking across the sky towards the East until it disappeared. No one reports hearing or seeing any impact. We talked with the National Weather Service out of Newport where officials say they have also had similar reports, but can't confirm for sure that it was a meteor. A meteor is a piece of rock or other debris from space that burns up as it enters Earth's atmosphere. Because the objects are moving at many thousands of miles per hour, they create friction with the atmosphere as they enter and burn up. If you happened to have seen the fireball streaking across the sky and took any pictures we would love to see them You can email them to Carolina Camera on our home page."

This in the update section.

Neb beat me to it..

Hey evol

It says this under the tab "event Description"

A possible meteorite entering the Earth’s atmosphere late Tuesday evening had 911 centers in Southeastern North Carolina fielding multiple phone calls from concerned residents. New Hanover County emergency dispatchers interviewed Tuesday said callers described witnessing what appeared to be a large meteorite crossing the sky at a steep angle before burning out. Brunswick and Pender counties also received multiple calls, with some reports suggesting the meteorite had actually landed, but that could not be verified Tuesday evening. Meteorites are usually remnants of asteroids or comets that survive a fall to the ground through Earth’s atmosphere, according to Meteorite.org. But some have proven to be pieces of moon or Mars that broke off after an impact event and traveled through space.

Yikes..crazy stuff indeed
