Since the spectacle took place in broad daylight, many only noticed the bang and not the meteor itself. Over 200 reports went to the American Meteor Society after the event. According to researchers, a sonic boom can occasionally be heard on Earth when a fireball is traveling below 50 kilometers. The said meteor should have broken into its individual pieces at a height of 35 kilometers.
According to NASA, the meteor entered the earth’s atmosphere in the upper part of New York state between Rochester and Syracuse then moved at 90,000 km / h southwest. A sled dog owner near Lake Erie managed to capture both the bang and the meteor in the sky. A weather camera in Toronto showed how the fireball temporarily bathed the city in glistening light.
