The meteor made people go on media and write about it and some people even wrote about it on science blogs. Lots of families were amazed by the meteor. They all looked at it together in their living rooms. People are always looking for something to happen and the meteors bright light in the sky was really something.
The meteor had an impact on people even though it was small. Some astronomers used telescopes on the ground to track where the meteor was going and some people just used their phones to film it.

Some scientists thought that the meteor might be part of a group of asteroids that sometimes come close to the Earth. For people who want to keep the Earth safe seeing a meteor can be a warning that there might be rocks coming from space.
