A meteor zoomed across the skies of northern Vermont Sunday night traveling at an estimated speed of 42,000 miles per hour, CNN reports.
According to Live Science, the meteor’s explosive journey through the atmosphere released energy equivalent of 440 pounds of TNT, suggesting the space rock likely weighed about 10 pounds and was approximately 6 inches in diameter.
The falling meteor created a spectacular light show, fragmenting so violently it shook cars and buildings across the state, according to CBS News.
CNN reports more than 100 people saw the fireball as it shot across the twilight sky around 5:38 p.m. local time.
