On Tuesday morning, a rare daylight meteor exploded over Lake Erie, creating a powerful sonic boom that rattled homes across northern Ohio and beyond. The event was detected by both seismic instruments and NOAA’s GOES East weather satellite, which captured the meteor’s intense infrared flash from 22,000 miles above Earth.
Witnesses from Maryland to Illinois reported seeing the fireball streak across the sky for nearly six seconds, followed by a deep, ground‑shaking boom. The American Meteor Society (AMS) is now analyzing reports to determine the meteor’s trajectory and whether fragments may have reached the ground.
This extraordinary event recalls past meteor explosions over Michigan (2018) and Atlanta (2024), highlighting how often cosmic visitors interact with Earth’s atmosphere.
👉 Watch now to see how science and eyewitness accounts combined to capture this breathtaking celestial moment.
