From the Christian Science Monitor:”
On Tuesday night [ed. 10/4/16], Toronto police and fire services received calls about sightings of a plane crash, and Twitter was astir with reports a fireball streaking through the sky.
For some, the streak of bright light across the sky around 10:30 p.m. was accompanied by a sonic boom, according to The Washington Post. The hashtags #meteor and #fireball spread on Twitter, and the University of Toronto Scarborough Observatory managed to capture the fireball on video.
…..
Mike Hankey, operations manager for the American Meteor Society, told The Washington Post that it’s one of the “top 10 events of the year” in terms of the number of reports it received.
