Fireball seen shooting through night sky across…
More than 100 people witnessed a fireball shooting through the sky late Tuesday night in at least 5 different states in the Central U.S.
Videos from Indiana and Ohio confirmed the white-green ball shooting across the sky Tuesday, just before midnight.
According to NASA, a fireball is an unusually vibrant meteor that reaches a visible magnitude of -3 or brighter when seen overhead.
NASA analyzed the eyewitness accounts and accessed data from publicly out there cameras and confirmed the fireball’s first visibility 48 miles above Trinity, Indiana.
Reports to the American Meteor Society got here from Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio and Wisconsin.
NASA said the fireball moved southeast at 29,000 mph and traveled 48 miles through the ambiance.
It disintegrated 27 miles above Laura, Ohio.
“The relatively slow speed suggests that the object producing the meteor was a small fragment of an asteroid,” NASA said.
