Yesterday, a 500 pound meteor airburst over the eastern USA. Fragments impacted the ground in Pennsylvania.
"A 500-pound space rock, or meteoroid, entered the atmosphere to become a meteor that tracked west to east across southwestern Pennsylvania, producing a sonic boom. That means it likely had enough mass to deposit meteorites in an area northeast of Kittanning near the Clarion County border.
Mike Hankey, operations manager of the American Meteor Society, said the sonic boom and meteor explosion produced a burst of light that, for an instant, was comparable in size to the sun."
