The fireball in the sky caused the sensation in New York by striding above the city in the middle of the day.
It was a meteor, an American Space Agency NASA on Facebook, added that he had left a light clue that emerged when the stones from the universe entered the Earth's atmosphere.
The witness report analysis suggests that the light became visible above the city on Tuesday morning and then traveled west at about 61,000 kilometers per hour to the State of New Jersey.
The phenomenon was accompanied by thunder noise and shivers with a similar earthquake, they reported local media by referring to eyewitness statements. However, NASA said it could have been due to military activities in the area.
The meteor becomes visible when the stone debris flies in the Earth's atmosphere and burns there for friction with air molecules. A fragment that did not completely burn and hit the surface of the earth is called a meteorite.
The pieces of rocks like the one that caused light bar above New York have a diameter of about 30 centimeters, she published NASA. Such cosmic particles usually burn completely before falling on the ground and therefore they are not dangerous.
