BOSTON -- From the South Shore of Massachusetts to as far away as Montreal, people who were outside around 6 p.m. reported seeing what they described as a meteor or fireball flash across the sky.
Boston 25 News is working to confirm what the sighting may have been and searching for images. If you have photos or video of the meteor reach out to us on Twitter @boston25 or email desk@boston25.com.
December is when the Geminid meteor shower takes place. The Geminids peaked on Dec. 14.

Did anyone else just see what looked like a meteor shooting through the sky? I think I just saw one while looking northwest of Epping #NH #nhwx

Just saw my first really up close meteor streaking across the sky in Massachusetts. Have seen before far away but this one I confused for a firework ‘til realize that moved way too fast
