Eyewitnesses in the New York metropolitan area spotted a fireball streaking across the sky on Tuesday. A NASA expert estimated the meteor to be 1 foot in diameter.
A meteor bright enough to be spotted in broad daylight streaked across the sky on Tuesday morning, catching the attention of several East Coasters who documented their sightings. The fireball, defined as a meteor brighter than the planet Venus, is estimated to have soared over New York City before traversing a short path southwest and disintegrating about 31 miles above Mountainside, New Jersey, said Bill Cooke, lead of NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office.
But NASA cannot confirm whether the meteor’s appearance was linked to these two events, since infrasound detectors used to pick up low-frequency sound in the area were oversaturated by military activity simultaneously happening in the south, he added.
