That must have been a thrilling experience for people across Vermont to see a dramatic celestial event that closely… 

On March 7, Burlington Airport has captured some unusual scenes of a meteor streaking through the sky. That produced a pressure wave which caused a loud banging noise when it entered the atmosphere.

Well, it all happened at about 5.40 in the evening and it wasn’t only Vermont who saw this but people from New England and Canada had also experienced this fireball emerging after a meteor explosion.

As this news started catching all the attraction, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) released a statement on its Facebook page.

NASA Meteor Watch shared a long descriptive post on Vermont’s Meteor Explosion on the 8th of March.

The post explains, whatever happened on 7th March, was a fireball emergence result of a meteor explosion over northern Vermont. People who resided in Vermont saw this dramatic celestial event at about 5.38 PM (Eastern Standard Time); However, the analysis of reports say the meteor that occurred over northern Vermont has first appeared at a height of 52 miles above Mount Mansfield State Forest. Then, it moved northeast at 47,000 miles per hour and travelled through 33 miles above beach hill in Orleans Country south of Newport.
