TL;DR Summary

A bright fireball, identified as a fast-moving meteor, was observed streaking through the night sky over several eastern states, including New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. This event marked the second fireball sighting in the region within four days. NASA reported that the fireball disintegrated at an altitude of 30 miles above Norven Green State Forest, traveling approximately 37 miles through the upper atmosphere. While not associated with any active meteor shower, the upcoming Lyrid meteor shower is expected to peak on April 22-23, potentially producing a high number of shooting stars.
