Around 2:46 a.m., a fireball appeared over Manitoba, Ontario and Saskatchewan. (UT), which was attended by 95 people and reported to the American Meteorological Society (AMS). The meteor was even seen by some witnesses in North Dakota, in the United States. This is the second meteorite sighting in the area in recent days, according to Scott Young, a planetary astronomer at the Manitoba Museum, who told Newsweek. “Both objects appear to have been fireballs, the older, brighter cousin of the typical meteorite or ‘falling star,’” he explained. “Many balls hit the Earth every day, but most go unnoticed because they are above the ocean, cloudy below them or during the day.” “These objects are unique both in terms of their brightness, which suggests that they are much larger than the average meteorite, and in terms of their size.” Each item could range in size from pebble to baseball or even a basketball. “It’s hard to say until the whole video has been reviewed.” Because successive nights occurred, Yang said it was not clear if there was a connection between the objects or if the coincidence that occurred so close to each other was merely a coincidence. Young also speculated that some meteorite fragments may have made their way to Earth. “It is possible that fragments of any of these events reached the ground, but it is also possible that the object disintegrated as it passed through the atmosphere. “That’s why videos are so useful – they help narrow down the search area by recording the trajectory,” he said. Eight of the 95 witnesses sent to a video of the event, called AMS Event: 1984-2022, as they headed east toward Ontario. Alix and Jason Cruickshаnk captured the meteorite glowing brightly in the sky above Winnipeg as a missing cyclist passed by their home in one of the videos shown at the beginning of this article and uploaded to the AMS YouTube channel. Trevor Bryant recorded a video of the meteorite, which he shared on his YouTube channel, Brandon Astronomical. “After hearing about a meteorite sighting on a local Facebook group and they gave me the exact time and direction, I went through the camera recording pointing in that direction and saw it,” said Bryant, who caught fire in northwest Manitoba. , he told Newsweek. “I was dizzy.” As he drove through Stony Mountaine, Manitoba, Steve Hupé noticed the meteorite moving cleanly toward the ground and exclaimed loudly. “This was recorded on the dashcam, and I noticed about 15 other cars in the same bearing as me, so this was likely to be seen by many people on the road,” Hupé told AMS. AMS received a large number of reports from Winnipeg. Monica Cabrаl recorded a video in the area depicting a fireball gliding through a clear, dark sky, indicating that this could happen. Bryant claimed to have prepared the necessary equipment for such a scenario. “I set up a camera system to monitor the skies and captured exactly what I was hoping for — a spectacular event.” So I hope to see more of this kind of event in the future. ” “We have more videos of these events than we have ever had before,” Young said. You do not need to interview witnesses or rely on memories when you have a video. they are all recorded and measurable. “
