NASA defines a meteor as "a space rock that becomes so hot it glows when it passes into Earth’s atmosphere," which definitely fits the bill with the videos people uploaded to social media.
According to the United States Geological Survey, the meteor caused the equivalent of a magnitude 2.0 earthquake on the ground.
Mike Austin captured the event on his dashcam on the I-75near Bloomfield Hills.
Kevin McCombs captured the bright light in a video shared by Local 4 News reporter Jason Colthorp.

Non-profit scientific organization The American Meteor Society (AMS), which allows people to report meteors and the like, saw its server overloaded after the event.
The AMS received 355 reports of the fireball over seven states.
"This was a very slow moving meteor – speed of about 28,000 miles per hour (45,000km/hour)," the AMS wrote in a re-cap of the event.
"This fact, combined with the brightness of the meteor (which suggests a fairly big space rock), shows that the object penetrated deep into the atmosphere before it broke apart (which produced the sounds heard by at least 77 observers). It is likely that there are meteorites on the ground near this region."
