Did you see a flash of light streaking across the Florida sky Saturday night? If so, you weren't alone.

• Meteor lights up skies over Florida
• Witnesses shared video on social media

Turns out that bright streak was a meteor, according to the National Weather Service's Tallahassee office.

The meteor was picked up on satellites that are used to track lightning. The agency posted a lightning map on its Twitter account, which caught the meteor's fall. Hint, its the blink-and-you-miss-it purple dot in the Panhandle.

The meteor also lit up social media, with people posting videos of it.

Meteors are meteoroids, aka space rocks, that enter the Earth's atmosphere at a high speed and burn up, according to NASA.
