Meteor blazes through New Jersey sky days after eclipse and earthquake
A meteor blazed through the sky in New Jersey, hot on the heels of a series of striking natural phenomena including an earthquake and solar eclipse. The appearance of the fireball prompted dozens of reports to the American Meteor Society between 3:40 and 3:55 a.m. About 60 different reports, which are considered unofficial until they are reviewed by the AMS, were logged in the New York tri-state area as well as eastern Pennsylvania to southern Delaware. One man, who gave his name as Darren T, wrote that he saw the light in Hackettstown, New Jersey, about 50 miles outside New York City. A Linden, New Jersey resident named Christina V. said she had just climbed out of the shower sometime around 3:40 a.m. when she looked outside.
