Meteor over California

A bright fireball lit up the sky from California to as far as Utah and Arizona. There were many calls and reports of a very bright fireball that streaked across the sky through several social media platforms. It was nothing in comparison to the meteor that came across Russia in February. Scientists say that instead of possible meteors coming through once or twice every hundred years, it is possible that it could occur every decade. It is very dangerous considering the potential effects including shattered glass, falling of buildings and skin burns. Now, new research is being encouraged for planetary defense from these potentially harmful events.
