Dozens report bright fireball in New Hampshire skies
WMUR ^ | 04/18/2021 | Kirk Ensrom

A surveillance video captured by a Nest security camera in Rochester submitted by a local user shows a short, bright streak of light in the sky. The submitter said the fireball was accompanied by a loud boom, and an emailer from Strafford told News 9 his house shook after the fireball was seen. Just one of the reports submitted to the AMS indicated that the witnesses heard any sound.

Fireballs are meteors that are unusually bright, at least as bright as Venus. They can create a sonic boom that is heard a few minutes after the fireball is seen.

It's unlikely that the fireball reached the ground. Most meteors are destroyed high in the atmosphere.

The sun probably shone after 6 months. “Strange yellow ball in the sky!”
