Possible space debris reported across southern US sky
People all across the southeastern U.S. and in the Midwest reported seeing fireballs streaking across the sky on Saturday night.
Videos show the occurrence, with many speculating what it could’ve been: Asteroids? Meteors from the Ursid meteor shower? Drones?
Thousands of people in the South saw a bright object streaking across the sky Saturday night about 10 p.m. CT, moving generally from south to north. While the Ursid meteor shower is ongoing this weekend, this was more likely a piece of space debris breaking up in Earth’s atmosphere.
While the Ursid meteor shower did reach its peak on Saturday night during the winter solstice, the answer is most likely chalked up to space debris that was breaking up within Earth’s atmosphere.
Watch: 40-foot waves slam Oahu beach in Hawaii
A surfing competition that requires unique surf conditions to go on was able to happen on the north shore of Oahu on Sunday.
The surfing competition requires at least 40-foot waves by 8 a.m. the day of the competition to move forward, and consists of two rounds with five heats in each round, according to KHON2.
“The Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational” honors the life and legacy of Eddie Aikau, a waterman and lifeguard on Oahu’s North Shore who rescued countless swimmers from the rough and dangerous surf, according to the Eddie Aikau Foundation.
Waves reaching 40-50 feet were expected on Sunday, as “The Eddie” surfing competition gets underway. The competition requires swells of at least 40 feet to happen.
