Peter Brown, a professor in Western University’s physics and astronomy department, tweeted a series of photos of the spectacle. He dubbed it the Kintail fireball, for the spot near the Canadian shoreline of Lake Huron where it was believed to have crossed over before going into the water. On a map, Kintail is directly across the lake from Michigan’s Thumb.
“Kintail fireball orbit from last night place origins firmly from the asteroid belt. The initial mass was somewhere between a few to ten kilograms - softball sized. Not quite as bright as the full moon," Brown posted on Twitter.
Fireballs are born when particles of meteors hit the Earth’s atmosphere and burn their way across the sky.
There were some reports of this particular fireball from U.S. sky watchers. These came from people in Port Huron, Flint and St. Clair Shores in Michigan, and other spots in Ohio and New York, as reported to the American Meteor Society.

Yea but Lake Huron is pretty darn deep and a rock from space looks just like a rock in the lake........
That just killed my "get a houseboat and hang out on the great lakes till the corona virus plays out" scenario.
Oh well, back to the drawing board.
Let me get this straight. A softball-sized meteor landed on the Canadian side of Lake Huron, and it was seen as far away as New York?
A month ago, in Athens, Kentucky, I saw a blue-green fireball a few minutes after sunset, before the sky had gotten dark. It looked like it fell just above a barn; I guess that wasn’t the case after all.
They tried fire, acid, shotgun — should have put Trump on the job!

They did all the right things, and that was in the days when the army was the good guy! They could save things! Not now. Gubmint ties their hands too many times...
I was five years old when The Blob came out.
I remember my older Brother who was 12 at the time and his Friends were going to see it and my Mother wouldn’t let me go with them because it would be too scary.
I had a flashback later in life when I saw Jerry Nadler on Television during the Clinton Impeachment.
Is that the book you wrote on the gubmint tying the hands of the military? I thought it would be a lot bigger!!

His performance has got to be one of the worst I’ve ever seen - and I’m a fan of 1950s Sci-Fi movies.
There will be signs in the Sun, Moon and stars ...
(not exactly, but...)
GOD reveals Himself through His creation and the WORD (JESUS CHRIST.) All creation worships Him. Those who choose not to believe in the CREATOR will have no excuse when they stand before Him on Judgment Day.
I call that signs and wonders.

PSALM 19:1-4
The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2
Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they reveal knowledge.
3
They have no speech, they use no words;
no sound is heard from them.
4
Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.
The “thumb” of Lake Huron is only about 200 miles from Buffalo NY and surrounding area. The air burst high up could probably be seen from that far.
Can you tell me what the 3 states were, and possibly the year and month?
The Peekskill meteorite was observed during its terminal descent, shot onvideo at by least 16 different observers in multiple states.
