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 / 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.

Fireball reports for are now available at fireballs.imo.net/members/imo_ and fireball.amsmeteors.org/member (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.
