A fireball zoomed across the sky on Sunday, according to eyewitnesses in the northeastern United States and parts of Canada.
The American Meteor Society (AMS) said on Facebook it had received more than 100 reports of a fireball being seen over Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and the Canadian province of Québec at around 5:38 p.m. ET on March 7.
NASA Meteor Watch said it had also received reports of the fireball, with analysis showing that the meteor occurred over northern Vermont, first appearing at an altitude of 52 miles above Mount Mansfield State Forest in the north of the state.
The meteor moved northeast at around 47,000 miles per hour, traveling 33 miles through the Earth's upper atmosphere before burning up 33 miles above Beach Hill in Orleans County, Vermont

Just think of the joy if it had hit Washington DC.
Fred, you have to stop traveling internationally.This Covid thing is Hugh and Series.
A person on my local FB page stated they thought that a meteor may have landed in the town on Milford, NH. This is a town in central NH right on the MA border.
They were seriously going out to look for its landing spot.
Would the air traffic control radar track that?
Would have made my week and month.
Maybe the PIAPS got lost trying to land back in NY, then crash-landed its broom in NH. LMAO.
Goodness, gracious!
Did it melt any Ben & Jerry’s?
Don’t know, but the northeast facility is right here in Nashua of the Air traffic control. They track every jet coming in from Europe and everything east of Cleveland.
Tens of thousands of lawyers dead?
My parents lived in Orleans County, VT. If you only have a year to live...move there. It will feel like a 100 years.
But the skies are wide open and dark there. I used to love watching the night skies there. You see a LOT of cool things you never see in the bright MA lights.
Nashua is far from where this was happening. (About 120 mi.)
The FAA facility there is about 4 miles from the MA border. I used to stop in traffic heading south right at the bend in Route 3.
“Tens of thousands of lawyers dead?”
And that’s a good start.
What color was it?
I saw a huge GREEN fireball once in about 1976 over North Carolina..................
Saw a story a few days ago about a fireball over England.
I would look in Grover's Mill, NJ.
