Last night there was a shocking phenomenon in the United States. It was, according to the Geological Survey of the United States, a meteorite that entered the Earth’s atmosphere and exploded in the night sky of Michigan. A visual spectacle with which for a few moments it was made by day in the city of Detroit.

Luckily for citizens around the world, the phenomenon has been recorded. So much so that in the hours following the event, social networks have been filled with videos. That has allowed us to enjoy, even at a distance and in deferred, the impact of the meteorite. 

The US authorities have confirmed the meteor. That is a luminous phenomenon that is produced in the upper atmosphere by the energy of the meteoroids intercepted by the orbit of the Earth. Meteorites are meteoroids that disintegrate when they reach the surface of the Earth.

But what happened to the meteor? What exactly happened? The meteorite in question sneaked into the atmosphere on Tuesday, the 16th at night in the United States. The United States Geological Survey has explained that the meteor entered about 8 kilometers from New Haven (Michigan), about 58 kilometers north of The Motor City.

As reported, the entrance of the meteorite caused a small tremor, with force equivalent to a magnitude 2.0 earthquake. NASA cameras captured the meteor at 8:08 pm at Oberlin College, Ohio.

Right now, in fact, NASA experts are working on the meteorite analysis. It is, according to them, a strange phenomenon for a place like Michigan. The meteorite that entered the atmosphere, according to the organism’s data, could have dimensions of up to one and a half meters.

Citizens anticipated in social networks

Before the United States Geological Survey (USGS) had confirmed the news, citizens had already shared the images of the phenomenon on social networks. Also, we actually see a flash of light, followed by something like an explosion.

The citizens did not stop sharing the images through their social networks. So, in reality, what the National Weather Service (NWS) did was analyze the recordings. And confirm that the flash had little to do with what would be a flash or a rumble. But it was a meteor.
