Airplane pilot Mike Grossman, while flying 1500FT over the Hudson River, captures a very rare sight from a GoPro external wing camera of his Piper Archer descending into a New Jersey airport on January 30, 2016 at 6.16pm EST.
A bright, very low flying fireball penetrated earth's atmosphere just to the right of his airplane!
Also, Alexander Salvador of Church Falls, Virginia recorded the luminous bolide at the exact same time 6:16pm EST from a few hundred miles away on the ground with his dash cam!
This was a Major Event as hundreds of reports were sent in to both of the main meteor sighting hubs, LunarMeteoriteHunters and American Meteor Society.
The fireball was witnessed in at least 12 different states and 2 countries!
