NBCLA – A meteor shower may have been spotted in Southern California skies Wednesday night.NBC4 viewers flooded the newsroom with phone calls of reported sightings of a meteor shower that looked like a “fireball” and “exploding stars” from as far as San Diego.”I saw it while I was driving,” viewer AnnMarie said via Twitter. “I thought it was a firework!”NBC4 received reports of sightings in Temecula, San Diego, Coachella Valley, Palmdale, Tustin, Ontario, Palm Springs, Brea, Malibu, Pomona, Chino, Redlands, Seal Beach, Fresno, Long Beach, Anaheim, San Bernardino and Los Angeles.A viewer from Los Angeles sent a video of what he described as a fireball over a parking lot.”I saw the meteor. It was huge and broke into three large pieces,” viewer Jonathan said.NBC4 viewer Sylvia said via Twitter she saw a fireball suddenly appear and disappear across the sky.Another viewer, George, described what he saw as a fast-moving trail that “burned in the atmosphere with a trail of debris.”

Apparently a meteor may have landed somewhere around LA last night. I missed it. Every news station was going nuts last night. People were sending out fake tweets with pictures. This guy, Chani tweeted out a pic, his only tweet he’s ever made and KCBS-KCAL immediately responded asking him if they could call him to talk about his picture which was clearly a fake.

I don’t know anyone who saw it. I asked around the apartments, no one saw it. I called my buddy in Santa Monica, nothing. My friend in Studio City, nothing. Did anyone near Los Angeles see it? I’m starting to believe it’s a myth and it didn’t really happen. I bet Tom Cruise knows where it came from.

Here is the picture of the #METEOR in LA !!! It was amazing and unbelievable. So lucky to have caught it on camera ! pic.twitter.com/gQeBtw9tdt
