The society receives as many as dozens of reports of fireballs over the U.S. every day, with more than 2,400 events reported so far this year.

Before Monday, there had been nearly 60 reports of fireball sightings in Maryland, according to the society.

In 2010, there were several widely seen fireballs in the region. That, year, a fist-size rock left a trail of smoke across the sky before crashing through the roof of a Lorton, Va., medical office Jan. 18; baseball fans saw a fireball streak across the sky over Oriole Park at Camden Yards June 24 as the Orioles played the Florida Marlins; and another stunned early morning commuters May 10.

A meteor also famously tore through the skies of central Russia this February, injuring hundreds.
