A fireball flashed through the night sky in New England on Sunday, releasing the energy of around 440 pounds of TNT.
NASA Meteor Watch reported on Monday that as residents witnessed the meteor streaking over Vermont and Massachusetts, the space rock fragmented violently, producing a pressure wave that rattled buildings and generated the sound heard by those near the trajectory.
Although the agency had initially believed the meteor which was likely a fragment of an asteroid to have been moving at a rate of 47,000 miles per hour when it appeared at around 5:38 p.m. ET, further analysis slowed that rate down to 42,000 miles per hour.
