Last night, a meteoroid hit Earth’s atmosphere over Ohio, exploding in a fiery flash of light.

Space Weather reports that the meteor was traveling at 114,000 mph when it hit the Earth’s atmosphere at 11:33 pm EDT. The explosion was captured by a NASA all-sky camera in Hiram, Ohio, and was reportedly visible from at least 14 US states.

Folks who live in or near Ohio, did you happen to see last night’s fireball?
