We received 113 reports about a fireball seen over Île-de-France, Bretagne, England, Normandie, Pays de la Loire, Scotland and Wales on Saturday, December 30th 2023 around 02:06 UT.
A bright fireball streaked across the evening sky over Central New Jersey at 5:21 PM on December 20. The meteor, a dazzling spectacle, was visible for several seconds before disappearing from view.
Residents in various parts of Central New Jersey reported witnessing the celestial event, describing it as a brief, large streak larger than the average meteor shower object.
Experts are analyzing data and eyewitness accounts, and video to determine the exact nature and origin of the fireball. Initial assessments suggest that a meteoroid may have entered Earth's atmosphere, creating a fiery display as it burned up due to the intense friction.
No reports of any damage or impacts on the ground have been received thus far, indicating that the fireball likely disintegrated high above the Earth's surface.
The Clima ao Vivo and Bramon cameras recorded a meteor during the early hours of this Friday (15), which crossed the sky of Paraíba, Pernambuco and Rio Grande do Norte.
