Four
fireballs fall over U.S. in 24 hour period
In
the last 24 hours the AMS has received confirmed reports about 4
unique fireball events all occurring near 4:00 AM UTC time. The most
recent event occurred in Arkansas and Missouri on May 19th near 3:37
UTC. At the same time 3:37 UTC 4 witnesses reported a fireball in
Arizona. The distance between these two locations would inhibit
witnesses from observing the same fireball from both locations. On
May
18th two large fireball meteors
were also spotted within an hour of each other, one over the central
east coast and another in Colorado. Below is a table of the events in
question.
