(WXYZ) - 7 Action News is receiving many news tips about a bright flash of light and loud noise that has been heard throughout southeast Michigan.
We have heard reports from Ypsilanti Township to Clarkston to Grosse Isle.
At this point, 7 Action News has yet to determine what caused it. However, the National Weather Service has issued a tweet saying it was a meteor.
Wild scene tonight. Phones lines lit up as soon as it happened (no pun intended). With reports of the noise and 'crash' being felt in Ypsilanti to Clarkston. No word on what exactly it was but right now everyone is saying Meteor.
