East Coast Meteor Spotted in New York, New Jersey and Washington, DC [VIDEO]
March 22, 2013 10:16 PM Reports of a meteor sighting over New York blazed across social media Friday night. While the sighting was real, several of the photos floating around on social media appear to be hoaxes.
Multiple news outlets are reporting that a meteor was spotted over the Atlantic coast of the United States.

However other reports say the photos and videos posted in relation to the meteor are fakes.
The Instagram floating around claiming to be from tonight’s east coast #meteor is just an image ripped from a 3 year old blog post.
