Found an interesting link today to this report from Astronomy and Space News:
A fabulously bright fireball lit up the sky over the southeastern U.S. around 2:27 a.m. CDT Aug. 28. "The fireball reached a peak apparent magnitude of -16, about 20 times brighter than a Full Moon, and cast shadows on the ground. This indicates that the meteoroid had a mass of more than 110 kg (240 lbs) and was up to a meter in diameter. It hit the top of Earth's atmosphere traveling 25 km/s (56,000 mph)." lead researcher Bill Cooke of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office said.
The American Meteor Society (AMS) received 5 reports for this event, the closest to the holler being in Hixson, Tennessee (near Soddy Daisy and Chickamauga Lake northeast of Chattanooga). You can see report summaries and an interactive map at the AMS report page.

Later in the evening of August 28th, AMS received nine reports of another fireball in the Great Lakes region. On August 29th, five people in Oregon reported seeing a fireball to AMS.
Here's a video of the meteor that was captured from a camera in space:
