A loud boom heard near Cleveland, Ohio, was confirmed as a meteor by NASA after hours of speculation. The meteor originated from an asteroid, which fragmented over Ohio and Pennsylvania into several meteorites, before impacting and falling in Ohio's Medina County.
A dramatic footage of a meteor, which was first spotted in the US skies above Lake Erie, was captured by the security camera at the bus stop on Olmstead Falls, in Cuyahoga County, in the suburbs of Cleveland.
According to NASA, the meteor was six feet in diameter and weighed about 7 tons before it disintegrated. No injuries have been reported so far.
The exact points of impact are not known, but NASA said that the impact of the meteor on the ground was in Medina County, after it fragmented over Valley City.
