βοΈFor the 6th time in human history, and for the 2nd time in 2022, Man managed to observe an asteroid before it entered the Earth atmopshere. Meter-sized 2022 WJ1 produced a dramatic fireball over Ontario on Nov. 19th, 3 hours after it was discovered: https://www.imo.net/2022-wj1-6th-predicted-earth-impact/

A small asteroid burned up over Southern Ontario Saturday morning, and was followed by another bright fireball Saturday night.
- the first is now one of only six asteroids that were discovered prior to impact, and it may be the only one that impacted over a heavily populated area!

Image description for last post, since I still can't add those with the reposting tool:
Estimated ground track for meteorites that were part of asteroid #C8FF042 / #2022WJ1 before it impacted Earth's atmosphere early on the morning of 2022 November 19.
The track runs along the southern coast of Lake Ontario, with some meteorites having landed in the lake and others potentially having landed on the shoreline west of the city of St. Catharines.
Detected by weather radar from Buffalo, New York.
Newly-discovered asteroid #C8FF042 flew over the United States last night before impacting Earth near the Great Lakes.

#C8FF042 now indexed as #2022WJ1: https://twitter.com/Yeqzids/status/1593976738153127939
Fireball reports for #C8FF042 are now available at https://fireballs.imo.net/members/imo_view/event/2022/8984 and https://fireball.amsmeteors.org/members/imo_view/event/2022/8984 (Thank you, @IMOmeteors@twitter.com)
Fireball reports suggest the meteorites may have ended up in Lake Ontario north of Niagara. This would impede recovery.
Good luck to the searchers.
