A shame it went down in an ocean. A fragment of that thing would’ve been worth enough money to pay a whole month’s premium on Obamacare!
Sez it probably never reached the earth’s surface. I saw an east coast fireball as I was coming home about a year ago. I saw it far off in the distance, in the early evening and thought to myself, “That looks like a meteor, but it can’t be.” Then it crossed in front of me, low above the horizon, going west to east and I thought it was a helicopter following Route 2 towards Boston, but when it was to the southeast is brightened up and disappeared. I knew what is was, and thousands of others on the east coast reported it, too.
A few years back, I was looking for Venus as a morning star, just after sunrise, and saw a distinct fireball to the southeast, but heard and saw no other reports. I may have been one of the few people to have seen that one.
