NASA scours Pacific Ocean for huge object that caused SONIC BOOM after falling from space
On March 7, three National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weather stations detected the fall of what they believed to be a meteorite around 16 miles off the coast of Washington. “The fall was widely seen around local areas and widely heard around local areas – it came with some loud sonic booms,” Marc Fries, the cosmic dust curator for NASA, told Live Science.
Brittany Bryson, who was sitting in a fast-food drive-through when it happened revealed a bright flash filled the sky, followed by a boom so loud it rattled her car.
“We thought it was a spaceship,” she admitted.
