Houses rumbled along the northeast coast of the United States as a fireball exploded in the sky

From space the ejected object exploded over the northeastern coast of the United States on Saturday, news agencies say AP yes AFP.

According to NASA, the US space agency, the meteor, or fireball, caused an explosion equivalent to 300 tons of explosive TNT.

The strong explosions of the fireball were heard over the states of Massachusetts and New Hampshire, and even as far as Montreal, Canada.

NASA spokesperson Jennifer Dooren confirmed that the fireball was of natural origin and not, for example, a piece of satellite or space debris. However, the fireball was not associated with any active meteor shower.

According to Dooren, the meteor flew at a speed of 120,700 kilometers per hour and disintegrated at a height of about 60 kilometers. Usually meteors burn higherat about 80–100 kilometers.

American according to the meteor community (AMS), the meteor was nearly a meter in diameter. It entered the atmosphere at 2:06 p.m. local time near the Massachusetts-New Hampshire state line, roughly north of the city of Boston.

“It was definitely bigger than a normal fireball,” said an AMS fireball observer Robert Lunsford. According to him, the fireball looked like a shooting star during the day.

According to Lunsford, it is unlikely that anything from the meteor would have ended up in Earth’s chamber. If the piece didn’t burn up completely in the atmosphere, it probably hit the ocean.

The blast waves shook houses in the northeastern coastal states, causing residents of the region to panic. The unusual event also employed the police and other authorities.
