Huge meteor lights up skies startling drivers before explosion leads to rock landing on house

This is the startling moment a bright meteor was seen sweeping across the night sky - causing a powerful explosion which rattled homes.



The fireball hurtled past places such as Ohio, Michigan and Ontario - with one woman even claiming a piece of the rock fell on top of a house.



The giant ball of flames was spotted around 8pm on Tuesday night - stunning motorists who had been driving along a road in pitch black.



The United State Geological Survey registered a 2.0 magnitude tremor about four miles east of Saint Clair Shores in Eastern Michigan.



And the National Weather Service confirmed it was not a meteorological event but more likely a meteor.
