Asteroid Explodes Over Ohio With 250 Tons of TNT Force
A large fireball, identified as a seven-ton asteroid approximately six feet in diameter, streaked across the Midwest sky before exploding over Ohio with the force of 250 tons of TNT. The event, which occurred at an estimated speed of 40,000 miles per hour, generated a sonic boom that reportedly shook houses. While fragments of the asteroid fell as meteorites near Medina, the extent of any resulting damage remains unconfirmed.
