A meteor big enough to have ruined a lot of people's Valentine's Day streaked over the East Coast earlier this week, creating a rare daytime fireball. Large numbers of people from Connecticut to Philadelphia reported seeing the meteor, which by some accounts was as bright as the sun. Most meteorites are the size of a grain of sand, but experts believe this one was up to 5 feet across. "My crude estimate of the energy of this fireball is about 100 tons of TNT, which means it was capable of producing a crater 125 feet in diameter and about 15 feet deep," a NASA scientist tells MSNBC. Judging from the direction it was headed—and the fact that no colossal meteor smashes were reported on the East Coast—experts believe the meteor crashed into the Atlantic Ocean. (Luckily, we just missed being hit by an asteroid, too: Click for that story.)
After read this article a day before yesterday nearby my town Carnaúba dos Dantas (Brazil) local people include me, we hear a strong noise and also a blue light crossed over sky, and we supposed to be a meteor, and after this article we have sure it is. It was really a strange phenomena.
