"...an object of unspecified size travelling at 24.4 kilometres per second struck earth in Greenland, just 43 kilometres north of an early missile warning Thule Air Base..."

I thought Fox News was an American media company. Why are they reporting distances and measurements in metric?

Do we officially speak Euro now?

NADA, back in the Clinton -Bush-Obama uears, burned up a Mars rocket lander because they fouled up two programs between two contractors by using inches-miles and the Euro metric units used in science papers. So now ALL NASA values are ONLY in metric.
