The past 24 hours have been quite the occasion for amateur astronomers and sky watchers as four giant fireballs were reported all over the eastern part of the United States. It isn't known as of now what caused the phenomenon. Was it a meteor, or maybe a satellite breaking apart upon reentry? The first fireball was seen in parts of Georgia and Florida, the second in  Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, New York, and Kentucky, the third was seen in parts of the South including Tennessee, Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, Missouri, and Kentucky. Then, the fourth was spotted right here in our backyard over parts of Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Maryland.
