A huge fireball crashed into the Atlantic earlier in February and went virtually unseen. NASA reported that the meteor exploded in the air 620 miles (1,000 kilometers ) off the coast of Brazil on February 6th, releasing energy equivalent to 13,000 tons of TNT, the same as the first atomic weapon that levelled Hiroshima in 1945 It is the largest incident of its type since February 2013 when a fireball exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia, leaving more than 1,600 people injured. RT reports: An extraterrestrial body allegedly the size of a large living room, about 5 to 7 meters across, released energy equivalent to 13,000 tons of TNT, which is 40 times less than the Chelyabinsk phenomenon. The object entered the atmosphere before exploding at approximately 30km above the Atlantic. It couldn`t be observed from the ground as it fell too far away from any populated area unlike the Chelyabinsk meteor, which hit the city with over 1 million dwellers, damaging nearly 3,000 building and causing multiple injuries. “Had it happened over a populated area, it would’ve rattled some windows and probably terrified a lot of people, but I don’t think it would’ve done any real damage,” American astronomer Phil Plait [...]
