“Earthgrazers” are fireball meteors with a trajectory so shallow that they skim long distances across the upper atmosphere, NASA says.
The fireball appeared Tuesday, Nov. 9, around 6:30 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, officials say, and was “detected by three NASA meteor cameras in the region.” It entered the atmosphere “at a very shallow angle — only 5 degrees from the horizontal.”
In fact, it was flying for so long that NASA had to recalculate its data to determine how far it traveled across the planet. “The meteor was first seen at an altitude of 55 miles above the Georgia town of Taylorsville, moving northwest at 38,500 miles per hour,” NASA says. Taylorsville is about 55 miles northwest of downtown Atlanta.

Took one quick look at Brandon’s America and decided no to land - maybe next time.
What, Me Worry?
One of these things roared across my windshield at 1 in the morning while crossing a bridge over the Charles River around 1996.
Glad my girlfriend at the time was with me to corroborate my story.
Is there a YouTube? Not turning off ad blocker for these clowns.
Whopping? Journalists are illiterate.

Zorg: “We’re low on fuel. We’ll set down on this planet.”
Zipp: “Holy bleep. Did you see the gas prices! We can push on to the next planet.”
By November 9, the clocks were back on standard time, not daylight saving time.
LOL - now that’s funny !
Aliens,,,,
To bad it was over a bridge. If it was on land and you were able to recover fragments, you might very well have ended up with a ton of money. Meteorite fragments are extremely valuable
It had more duration than the media interest in the Durham investigation of the DNC's fake dossier. Thanks Army Air Corps.
They’re just adjusting their aim, they’ll get it right next time…..
I thought this was gonna be another Hillary Clinton thread...
I’ve noticed MANY idiots mixing that up this year for some reason.
We are on STANDARD time now - and should not change the clocks again for stupid idiotic reasons.
But, why are so many calling it “Savings Time” now, when it most certainly isn’t? Even the media is getting this wrong (like so many other things).
I think it’s a coordinated campaign - to what ends, I don’t know yet, but it’s definitely not an accident.
