Suspected Meteor Explodes Over Cyprus🌠

A suspected meteorite did a close fly-by over Cyprus early on Friday. It had a 45 degree tilt.

It wouldn't have weighed any more than a few kilos, When it crossed Cyprus, it exploded. Some reported the ground shook.

Flashing and thundering so powerfully overhead that the ground shook, according to reports from residents. 

A Cyprus Geological Department official, Iordanis Demetriades, said there’s no indication that the object hit Earth.

This type of near-Earth encounter with a space object may seem rare (and terrifying), but is actually quite common.
