Brilliant Fireball Meteor Explodes Across Ohio Sky With Sonic Boom

Stow, USA – X user Kelly Wallin captured a bright fireball meteor streaking rapidly across the partly cloudy morning sky, moving from left to right while glowing an intense white-orange and leaving a long trailing tail.

The object traveled at high speed before beginning to break apart and fade from view, with part of a house roof visible at the bottom of the scene.

The event occurred around 9 a.m. on March 17, 2026, as the meteor entered the atmosphere in a dramatic display.

A loud sonic boom was felt and heard across Northeast Ohio, including Cleveland, Akron, and nearby suburbs. Reports also came from as far away as Wisconsin and Maryland.

NASA later confirmed the object measured about 6 feet in width and weighed roughly 17,000 pounds, traveling at approximately 44,000 mph before disintegrating.

Multiple residents captured similar moments on security and dash cameras, leading to widespread alerts issued by the National Weather Service.
