January 16th, 2018 at 8:58 PM ^
thought our nearest transformer had blown (yet no power loss) wife heard the boom.
Interesting.
January 16th, 2018 at 10:27 PM ^
But the sonic boom shook the crap out of my house.
It was loud as fuck. Way louder than a supersonic jet, but also much shorter in duration. That thing must have been hauling ass.
January 17th, 2018 at 7:46 AM ^
It really was hauling ass. According to Fred Jackson, that meteor was like an asteroid, only faster.
January 17th, 2018 at 1:24 PM ^
I saw it. I was outside in Birmingham and the sky lit up behind me. I turned in time to see the fireball just as it exploded. I went back inside about 4 minutes later and that's when the sonic boom hit us. It shook the house for a moment. My wife asked if it was thunder. I said I don't think so, I think I just saw a meteor explode. I did some research and found out sound travels roughly 13 miles per minute through the atmosphere, so I guessed the meteor came down roughly 50 miles to my west. My calculations were not too shabby as NASA is now saying it came down near Howell, Michigan, which is southeast of Lansing. They are also estimating the meteor was about one meter wide, which is pretty fucking big! They believe it's likely that pieces of it survived the explosion and are on the ground in that area. It would be super cool--and valuable--if somebody found a piece of it.

A friend got a video of it: check his instagram @camera_jesus
January 16th, 2018 at 9:04 PM ^
That’s incredible. Is that a real video of it?

I saw the flash of light in Dexter. I had thought maybe a transformer blew up or something. Some people are saying they heard a rumble or explosion with it. It was like daytime for about 3 seconds here.
Edit: on my phone so I can't embed but this is crazy

Whole house shook here in Melvindale.
We thought it was a car crash or something like the edison explosion at the end of of our street in 2016 - http://www.13abc.com/content/news/Gas-line-explodes--385303101.html
January 16th, 2018 at 9:00 PM ^
ballistic missile
January 16th, 2018 at 9:04 PM ^
Very bright flash followed by a loud boom in Romulus. Shook the entire neighborhood here actually. I was late to the party on the flash, but my neighbor actually caught it on video as he was outside scraping the driveway and had the kindness to send it to me. Very cool indeed.
January 16th, 2018 at 9:07 PM ^
Hawaii. Good aim, those ROKs.
January 16th, 2018 at 10:03 PM ^
Detroit already decimated by years of economic decline
January 16th, 2018 at 9:07 PM ^
What you heard was the MSU administration's "we didn't know" defense going kabloooeeeey today.
January 16th, 2018 at 9:08 PM ^
I was driving on 94 by state st. when I saw it. I first thought it was a blown transformer.
January 16th, 2018 at 9:10 PM ^
Joe Diet found a meteor too...
January 16th, 2018 at 10:44 PM ^
Joe dirts nickname when he makes a New Years resolution to lose some weight
January 16th, 2018 at 9:13 PM ^
Definitely had my dog on edge. She was guarding the door.
January 16th, 2018 at 9:15 PM ^
Loud boom/explosion for sure, rumbling when I was walkin' the dog. Didn't see any light flash here in Oakland. Thanks for the explanation.
January 16th, 2018 at 9:17 PM ^
we had Subz
January 16th, 2018 at 9:22 PM ^
My girlfriend's parents in Clarkston saw it and heard it. There was even a video from Clarkston posted to twitter.
January 16th, 2018 at 9:24 PM ^
and the flash of light was behind us. My youngest daughter asked what it was and I thought it was a transformer exploding (much like most everyone else did, it appears). Turns out half of Metro Detroit was raptured. Who knew?
January 16th, 2018 at 9:29 PM ^
I asked the misses if she felt the earth move. She said, “Not since the honeymoon.”
I’ll show myself out.
January 16th, 2018 at 9:32 PM ^
There was a meteor then too??
January 16th, 2018 at 10:16 PM ^
Nicely played!

Leaving the team today! And like that boom another is gone! Lol
January 16th, 2018 at 9:35 PM ^
Was hoping it was the end of days. Oh well.
January 16th, 2018 at 9:43 PM ^
A shotgun blast in Ann Arbor!
January 16th, 2018 at 9:54 PM ^
Was it around 8? i thought saw lightning while driving.
January 17th, 2018 at 1:27 PM ^
Just after 8 pm yes.
