People from Marco Island, to Orlando, up to Crystal River have reported seeing the bright light streaking across the sky.

Perhaps not so rare in the future:
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/photographer-snaps-erupting-vo...
A lucky photographer has managed to snap the incredible moment a meteor zoomed right over an erupting volcano .
As the bright red lava started streaming out of the stratovolcano, the bright flash of the meteor was seen speeding through the starry night sky.
The rare moment was caught on camera by Dutch photographer Tomas Van Der Wiejden while he was on a trip to Kamchatka, in eastern Russia.
Tomas, 30, was trying to snap lava flowing from the erupting volcano, Klyuchevskaya Sopka, and said he feels "very fortunate" to have captured such a unique moment.
He said: "I was taking exposures of the erupting volcano when for a split second, a bright flash streaked over the volcano.
"I immediately realised this was a meteor, but I had to wait a few seconds for my camera to finish taking the image to see if I had captured it.
"Thankfully, the meteor showed up on the image perfectly."
