Fireball Meteor

Fireball Meteor - Accompanied by sonic booms and rumbling sounds, the meteor was seen to break up into bright fragments, eventually leaving a persistent smoke-like trail. Even though there are bright fireball meteors in planet Earth's atmosphere every day, sightings of them are relatively rare because they more often occur over oceans and uninhabited areas. — at lmage Credit: Robert Mikaelyan/NASA (Groningen, The Netherlands - Oct.
