Fireball lights up New Jersey night sky days after eclipse, earthquake
A ma💜ssive fireball lit up the sky across New Jersey early Wednesday morning in what has already been a bizarre week of natural phenomena in the Garden State and surrounding area, including an earthquake and the solꦐar eclipse.
An apparent meteor falling to earth 𒁏created a brilliant streak of light, with residents in several New Jersey towns — as well as some parts of Connecticut, New York and Pennsylvania — reporting the spectacle .
Security camera video by Linda Pr꧑ice Heines from her home in Wall Township, New Jersey shows t𒀰he flash fly across the sky within just a couple of seconds at 3:43 a.m.
The AMS website, which allows people to self report ꧟their experiences, shows there were numerous reports of sightings from residents in the region around the same𒁏 time frame
One man, who gave his name as Darren T, said he saw the light in Hackettstown in Warren County — about 50 miles west of New ♋Yܫork City.
“This was the first time I ever saw this in my area,” he wrote in his report. “I have seen shooting stars but this was the f🐠irst time I observed this.”
Linden, New Jersey r꧟esident♏ Christina V. said she had just gotten out of the shower sometime around 3:40 a.m. when she was alarmed by what she saw in the sky.
“I saw a bright green almost neon in color falling from the sky. There wasn’t any long trails or anything but it did fall and disappear,” she wrote.ღ I was watching it through a window so that might’ve affected꧅ my vision but I was just left there stunned. I rushed to tell my boyfriend what I saw and instantly went online to check if it was normal.”
Dawn B., of Mount Kisco in Westc🍸hester County, New York cal🥃led it “incredible.”
“Kind of surreal,” she noted.
