WASHINGTON — A bright meteor was seen shooting through the sky Tuesday night and a camera located on the Washington Monument captured its movement.
The meteor moved from west to east over West Virginia Tuesday at 9:27 p.m., reports NASA’s Meteor Watch. It was seen across Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina and Maryland, the D.C. monument spotted it, too.
