Ohio & Mahoning Valley - Earlier this morning, 21 News received some calls regarding a mysterious fireball in the sky.

One caller told 21 News she saw a large fireball speed through the sky on Belmont Avenue in Liberty Township, and another reported seeing the same fireball closer to State Route 82 towards Howland Township.

Additionally, a Trumbull County dispatcher tells 21 News one call came in just after 9 a.m. from the 7300 block of Warren-Sharon Road in Brookfield Township reporting three loud explosions that shook the caller's house.

A 21 News employee who lives on the same street also reported her house shaking.

The National Weather Service (NWS) in Cleveland has now revealed what exactly residents saw and felt on Tuesday morning.

According to a tweet from the NWS in Cleveland, the fireball and boom were the result of a meteor spotted somewhere in Northeast Ohio. 

Another post from NASA reveals that a fireball was caused by a small asteroid nearly six feet in diameter and weighing about seven tons. The fireball moved about 45,000 miles per hour before fragmenting and producing meteorites.

The NWS in Pittsburgh provided 21 News with video of the meteor. You can watch that in the video player below. 

 

It is unclear exactly where the meteor crashed, but the NWS tells us a flash was detected west of Cleveland and extended north across Lake Erie.

A video from the Olmsted Falls City School District in Cuyahoga County indicates that the meteor appears to have landed not far from the school's bus garage. You can watch that video for yourself in the player below.
