The American Meteor Society called it a fireball, and registered more than 200 sightings on its website...
Tim Collins, a Kellogg Observatory astronomer. "Most of these space rocks, as you want to call them, are meteors before they burn up in Earth's atmosphere."
"It's very similar to a sighting last month. It doesn't mean there are more, but they're just so happened to be two of them, so it can happen. It's nothing to be alarmed about, it's nothing to be scared of."
Collins suspects the meteor entered Earth's atmosphere somewhere in Ontario and traveled south across New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia...

Be a shame if it hit Cuomo’s house.

Divert that sucker to D.C. and it’ll be venerated forever.
It was aimed for Ithaca, but it missed.
“...Collins suspects the meteor entered Earth’s atmosphere somewhere in Ontario and traveled south across New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Where it landed is anyone’s guess, but the Atlantic Ocean is a pretty big target....”

Came in Saturday night about 17 minutes after midnight (I know, technically, it was actually Sunday morning Eastern time).
I landed (if it didn’t completely burn up) in Pennsylvania with possible small fragments falling in Maryland.
How do they know it was an American meteor?

Trumps fault!
Better check on Grover’s Mill, New Jersey.
Probably shxt flying out of Cuomo’s mouth.
We had a similar one here north of San Diego on Saturday night.
“...Came in Saturday night about 17 minutes after midnight...”

Or maybe my family member, who saw it, said 25 -27 minutes after midnight. I’ll have to ask her when I get a chance. My poor memory!
