It's coming folks! Brace yourselves! Perhaps just a little warning that will of course go unheeded by most of the world...

Four Fireballs Seen Over Eastern US Within 24 Hours



Over the last 24 hours, the skies over the Eastern United States have been set ablaze by four fireball asteroids. Three of the fireballs actually happened within 1.5 hours of each other, which is unprecedented. In fact, the American Meteor Society has chimed in and stated, “It is rare that multiple significant fireball events occur and are reported to the AMS in the same evening. After analysis of the time, proximity of witnesses and pointing data gathered, it was determined that each event was unique. It is likely that several of these fireball events were captured on camera by the NASA fireball network.”


Event #2305-2014 was seen at approximately 1:11 local time (EDT) in FL and GA.

Event #2306-2014 – Over 77 witnesses from MI, IL, OH, IN, ON WI, PA, NY and KY reported a bright fireball over Michigan around 21:55 local time.

Event #2307-2014 – 29 witnesses from TN, AR, AL, MS, MO and KY reported seeing a fireball over Tennessee at approximately 20:30 local time

Event #2308-2014 – 42 witnesses in CT, PA, NY, NJ, MA and MD reported seeing a bright fireball in North Easter Pennsylvania near 20:47 local time.

This cosmological light show appears to have come to an end. So far, no further sightings have been reported. The fireballs haven’t caused any damage and have peacefully disintegrated in our atmosphere like they are supposed to, they just left with a bang.

I presume it is part of the yearly Southern Taurids meteor shower that provides lots of fireballs.

Southern Taurids Active from September 7th to November 19th 2014

The Southern Taurids are a long-lasting shower that reaches a barely noticeable maximum on October 9 or 10. The shower is active for more than two months but rarely produces more than five shower members per hour, even at maximum activity. The Taurids (both branches) are rich in fireballs and are often responsible for increased number of fireball reports from September through November.

Radiant: 02:08 +8.7° - ZHR: 5 - Velocity: 17 miles/sec (slow - 28km/sec) - Parent Object: 2P/Encke
