If you were up late last night, you may have noticed something light up the sky over Chattanooga and the Southeast.

NASA has determined it wasn’t a meteor, but instead space trash.

The bright light was reported by multiple sources in Southeast Tennessee and North Georgia and the American Meteor Society put together a map of the reports.
