The American Meteor Society (AMS) has released footage of a fireball crossing the skies of North Carolina. The event lit up the sky around 7:40 pm local time, but five meteors were seen in the United States on the same evening. In fact, NASA explained in a post on Facebook that the fireball was a meteor that touched the coast of North Carolina, becoming visible at an altitude of about 77 kilometers above the earth’s surface. The meteor moved northeast at about 50,000 km / h, traveling 42 kilometers through Earth’s upper atmosphere before breaking about 28 miles above Morehead City.
