United States - September 01, 2025 Lake Moultrie, South Carolina, USA – A striking celestial event was captured on September 1, 2025, over Lake Moultrie, as a fiery streak descended from the clouds toward the ground. The footage, filmed by camper X user Sleepy Weazel 81, shows a bright trail cutting through the sky, possibly a meteor or space debris. The phenomenon drew attention for its unusual trajectory and vivid display. “This looks like something shot into the air, but it came out of the cloud. It reached a point and then took a downward turn,” Sleepy Weazel 81 said, describing the dramatic sighting. The event aligns with a surge of fireball and meteor reports across the southeastern United States, noted in a New York Times article from June 26, 2025. Experts suggest increased space activity and atmospheric changes may be contributing to these sightings. Lake Moultrie has a history of extraordinary weather events, including a notable waterspout in May 2023, highlighting the region’s tendency for dramatic natural phenomena. The video has gone viral, sparking discussions about space debris re-entry and the frequency of meteorite appearances in populated areas.
