More than 190 people reported seeing the gleaming rock between 6:35 a.m. and 6:45 a.m., in seven states on the East Coast, according to the American Meteor Society, a not-for-profit that tracks meteor sightings.

One person reported seeing the astronomical event in Flushing, Queens, at 6:35 a.m., and two minutes later, another lucky onlooker spotted the fireball from Pelham Parkway in the Bronx, AMS said.
Thousands of fireballs and meteors occur in the earth’s atmosphere each day — but the majority of them either fly above oceans or are hidden by daylight, the AMS said.
“So, if you saw this one: congrats,” AMS said. “It’s a nice way start the year.”
