Doorbell and surveillance cameras captured the image of a possible meteor streaking through the sky around 11 p.m.
Marty Mitchell from West Grove captured the image with his own eyes.
"I've never seen something this big. I mean, this looked like a shuttle explosion or something," he said. "It was really big and bright."
