A meteor streaked across the sky above the Statue of Liberty before breaking apart roughly 30 miles above Midtown Manhattan on Tuesday morning, according to NASA.
At around 11:15 a.m., the celestial object entered the atmosphere over New York City, coinciding with reports from locals who observed a bright fireball and felt slight tremors beneath them.
Witnesses from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut described the fireball as it traversed the sky, with one person noting it glowed in shades of green, yellow, and white.
The dazzling event, which lasted around 30 seconds, saw the meteor fragment into three parts, as reported to the American Meteor Society by an eyewitness.
