NASA’s Meteor Watch confirmed sightings of at least five fireballs soaring through the evening sky over the US last Friday night.
In a Facebook post, the Meteor Watch noted that there were at least 80 eyewitness accounts of a massive fireball soaring over the North Carolina coast, becoming visible at around 7:40 pm.
The giant space rock eventually disintegrated after covering 26 miles through the upper atmosphere at an estimated 32,000 mph. It’s unclear from the Facebook post whether a single meteor broke up to form multiple smaller fireballs during its descent, or if multiple fireballs blazed through the upper atmosphere — a spectacular sight nonetheless for those lucky enough to be staring at the night sky at the right time.
The fireballs’ trajectories remain ambiguous.

NASA is like the cops.
If a meteor hits they will just put blue tape around the affected area and “investigate”.
If a big one hits they will run out of blue tape...
I think I would rather have the Martian Overlords than the ones we have now.
A couple of years back a CNN anchor asked if a sudden increase in meteors was due to global warming. No end to the mischief GW can cause.
NASA is NOT puzzled…
Sounds like Uranus is active.
And so it begins.
