Video Catches Meteor Over Croatia! /and NASA's All Sky Fireball Network

Meteors fall from the sky pretty often, but it's rare to catch them on video. In the Balkans, someone driving on the highway had their camera focused on the road ahead, and captured one. Below is the video, and below that you'll learn one way that NASA is watching the skies for meteors and fireballs (defined as being brighter than Venus in the sky).  Here's the story>>>

First reports of a large fireball explosion over Slovenia and Croatia on, Feb 28th
A loud sonic boom and shockwave was reported!

A spectacular fireball (meteor) exploded over northern Balkans on Feb. 28, 2020 at 10:34 local time (09:34 UTC). The event was seen and heard from northern Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, and Austria. There are numerous reports of a loud sonic boom with the accompanying shockwave, strong enough to be registered by the seismographs as an earthquake! It is possible some pieces of the object survived the atmospheric entry.

Here is a video of the event as seen over Zagreb, Croatia by Tomislav Čar. A slow-motion sequence of the most interesting part is also included.

NASA’s All Sky Fireball Network http://fireballs.ndc.nasa.gov/ 

The NASA All-sky Fireball Network is a network of cameras set up by the NASA Meteoroid Environment Office (MEO) with the goal of observing meteors brighter than the planet Venus, which are called fireballs. The collected data will be used by the MEO in constructing models of the meteoroid environment, which are important to spacecraft designers.
