2024 New York fireball

On July 15, 2024, a meteor crashed through Earth's atmosphere over New York creating a rare daylight fireball. The daylight fireball was reported around 1:15 PM EDT after eyewitnesses described it as a bright, fast-moving object streaking across the sky with a visible tail traveling a speed of 38'000 mph west into New Jersey. Numerous observers reported experiencing a sonic boom and slight ground shaking shortly after the fireball's passage, which NASA suggested may have been caused by the daylight fireball, but yet remains unconfirmed. The American Meteor Society (AMS) received over 40 reports of the event from witnesses in New York and neighboring states.
