As predicted the meteor entered the earth's atmosphere over Sudan. A flash was seen over Sudan by several airliners that were in the area, as reported by spaceweather.com shortly before the predicted time.
This marks the first time such an event is predicted in advance. Usually, rocks of this size burn up in the earth's atmosphere several times a year. Smaller ones hit nearly daily. What are the chances a larger one will hit, like the one that created Meteor Crater in Arizona 50,000 years ago?
