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

If I did my math right, that works out to about 2-1/2 seconds of visibility.

Lots of larger than normal meteors hitting the atmosphere and getting close to an impressive impact more frequently than in past. Almost becoming a regular event.

Storyline: Watch a meteor shower and go blind afterwards. Imagine being on a plane and everyone, including the pilot and the guy in the control tower being blind.

More and better reporting of such events—or are there suddenly more of such events?

More volcano and earthquakes in the news now also. Recent years was reports of strange events with wildlife.

Next!

It can’t be central NH if it’s on the border. It’s actually southern NH

“I saw a huge GREEN fireball once in about 1976 over North Carolina..................”

Saw one here in Longmont, Co. one evening as I was driving down to my hanger. Perfect view, bright green and heading South. They said it was because of the copper in the meteor.

What a clumsy take-off, and it’s far too slow.

In another 300 years ,the human race will be venturing forth.

I was born to early, or too late.LOL.

But that indeed is a clumsy take off which is far too slow given the anti gravity technology aboard, LOL.
