NBCWashington is receiving multiple reports that a meteor may have been spotted over the region around 8 p.m. Friday.
People spotted the streak of light in both Maryland and Virginia, many of whom say it appeared to be blue or green.
On Twitter, @MisterNeek told us, "[I] definitely witnessed what appeared to be a shooting star around 8 o clock, which then burst into a beaming red/green glow."
Rebecca Hovis told us in an email at 8 p.m. that she saw what appeared to be a meteor. "I was on Van Dorn [Street] going toward seminary road," she wrote.
Karen Watson told us on Twitter: "Yes, yes! Saw the meteor--bright green -- in the sky over Kingstowne (Alexandria), VA."
Twitter user @brownpau wrote: "Saw it going west to east about 10 degrees up in the northern sky from Dunn Loring area, bright green with a plasma trail."
Jennifer Stymiest told us, "I live in the Croom area of Upper Marlboro and at approximately 7:55 this evening, I saw a rather large bright blue ball with what looked like a bright orange tail go soaring past our house.... It appeared to be just over the treetops."
Thomas Birchall told us, "Meteor spotted streaking across the sky in Germantown, Md. It was greenish blue in color and could be seen disintegrating in the Gaithersburg direction."
There are reports that the streak of light was spotted as far north as Baltimore, New York and Maine.
The reports come five weeks after a meteor exploded over Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia, injuring nearly 1,500 people and blowing out windows across the region.

So from Maine all the way to DC, with a possible landing ground on the Maryland/Delaware border.
