FLORIDA FIREBALL WITH SONIC BOOM SHOOK THE HOUSES - Over 230 Reports


Published on Feb 24, 2015

The American Meteor Society received over 230 reports so far about a bright fireball event in northern Florida just east of Jacksonville. Observers from as far north as August GA reported seeing a bright light in the sky. 
Over 48 of the reports described a window rattling delayed boom. 

The estimated trajectory plotted from the witness reports shows the meteor was traveling from the south west to the north east and ended its flight about 30 miles due west from Jacksonville, FL.

The sonic boom reports appear to all be clustered around the ending point of the meteor, many from Lake City, FL.
