A video shot by Gerri Grenier from the sidewalk in front of GFL Memorial Gardens shows a fireball flash across the sky.
Videos from Sault Ste. Marie and nearby Michigan locations show the fireball streaking across the sky before it disappeared around 8:15 p.m.
Gerri Grenier was taking in the Queen Street Cruise with family on Friday night in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. when she happened to catch the "incredible moment" a fireball streaked across the sky.
"I cant believe I panned my phone over in that same split second of the meteor hitting our atmosphere," Grenier told SooToday. "As a beginner geology student, it was incredible catching something like that on video."
Social media is abuzz with eye-witness accounts of the fireball, which appeared in the sky over Sault Ste. Marie around 8:13 p.m. Some witnessed the same fireball Grenier and her family did, while others who were indoors reported hearing a sonic boom as loud as a slammed door.
We received 527 reports about a fireball seen over AL, AR, GA, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MI, MN, MO, MS, OH, OK, SC, TN and TX on Monday, June 15th 2026 around 03:26 UT.
This bright bolide was spotted from Spain on June 6, at 1:38 local time (equivalent to June 5 at 23:38 universal time). At the start of the video, the fireball has been sonified by for outreach purposes: its light was converted into sound by means of a new technique developed by Dr. Madiedo in the framework of the SMART survey.
The event was generated by a rock (a meteoroid) from a comet that hit the atmosphere at about 90,000 km/h. The fireball overflew Córdoba and Badajoz. It began at an altitude of about 102 km over Hinojosa del Duque (province of Córdoba), moved northwest, and ended at a height of around 58 km over Zarza Capilla (province of Badajoz).
This bright meteor was recorded in the framework of the SMART project, operated by the Southwestern Europe Meteor Network (SWEMN) from the meteor-observing stations located at Huelva, La Hita (Toledo), Calar Alto (Almería), Sierra Nevada, La Sagra (Granada), Sevilla, Otura (Granada), and Mazagón (Huelva). The event has been analyzed by the team headed by Dr. Jose M. Madiedo (principal investigator of the SMART project), from the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC). Its code in the SWEMN database is: SWEMN20260605_233824.
All political thinking for years past has been vitiated in the same way. People can foresee the future only when it coincides with their own wishes, and the most grossly obvious facts can be ignored when they are unwelcome.
