Georgia Fireball Could be Meteoroid Air Burst Event

Multiple witnesses across at least 4 states reported a fireball and explosions on Friday, April 29 between 10 PM and midnight. A fireball was also reported around the same time in Florida, Alabama and the Carolina's.
Lots of sound, but where is the flash?
Numerous witnesses reported hearing a concussion in the form of a roof or exterior surface bumping sound. At least two people reported the sound of an object, like a tree limb, striking their roof. Later inspection revealed that it was not a tree limb and there was no obvious cause for the sound. A meteoroid air burst would produce this exact effect, from a bump to an earthquake. There would also have been a flash at the moment of detonation.
