Overview
- The daytime fireball, which NASA logged at 2:34 p.m. Tuesday, first appeared about 48 miles above the Atlantic off Long Island.
- The object moved southwest near 30,000 mph and disintegrated 27 miles above Galloway, New Jersey, after traveling 117 miles through the upper atmosphere.
- The American Meteor Society received roughly 200 to 270 reports across Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, with many describing green fragments and some noting loud booms.
- Analysts reconstructed the path using public submissions and accessible cameras, though clear videos remain limited.
- Authorities have not confirmed any meteorites or damage, which is common during peak fireball season from February to April when bright meteors are reported more often.
