Enormous fireball falls over New York

On Sunday (Aug. 28) a fireball streaked throughout the sky over the northeastern United States, superb tons of of stargazers because the hurtling ball of flame briefly lit up the night time.

At the very least 120 witnesses reported the fireball to the American Meteor Society (AMS), a nonprofit group that collects reviews of meteor sightings world wide. One witness, Eric Lofrgen of Palmyra, New York, fortuitously managed to file the fireball’s 5-second strategy together with his car dashcam.
