하늘의 징조(SIGN) : 테네시 상공의 거대한 화염폭발!

August 30, 2013

Cleveland, TN - A large fireball exploded in the sky over Tennessee on Wednesday. The ball of fire was so bright it cast a shadow on the ground and was visible across most of the southeast part of the country. NASA has now upgraded it’s estimates of the meteoroid that entered the earth’s atmosphere. NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office says the meteoroid likely weighed about 110 pounds and was 16 inches in diameter. It hit the top of the earth’s atmosphere at 53,000 mph. This fireball was the brightest NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office has recorded in its 5 years of observation. There have been reports of sonic booms reaching the ground and Doppler radar recorded what appear to be some meteorites that could have fallen to the ground along the fireball’s trajectory.

클리블랜드, 테네시 - 오후 9시 35분경 테네시에 하늘에서 거대한 유성 불덩이리의 대폭발이 발생했습니다. 너무나 밝고 크게 빛을 발했기 때문에 국가의 남동부의 대부분에 걸쳐 많은 사람들의 눈에 아주 선명하고 또렸하게 보였다고 목격자들이 전합니다.

NASA는 이 유성체가 약 1백10파운드 무게와 직경이 16 인치 정도 였다고 보고했습니다.
