Major Fireball Event in Cleveland, TN at 0230 Aug 28, 2013

Post by Maria »

If you live in Tennessee, did loud booms wake you early on August 28, 2013?

  • Lead researcher Bill Cooke says "the fireball reached a peak apparent magnitude of -16, about 20 times brighter than a Full Moon, and cast shadows on the ground. This indicates that the meteoroid had a mass of more than 110 kg (240 lbs) and was up to a meter in diameter. It hit the top of Earth's atmosphere traveling 25 km/s (56,000 mph)."
