Is there a link between WNY and New England meteors?

About this episode

The episode explores the connection between recent meteor sightings in Western New York and other meteor events across the country.

Recent meteor streaks across the Eastern U.S. are drawing a lot of interest and even more questions. A fireball streaking across the sky last Wednesday morning startled residents across Western New York. Is it related to other meteor strikes across the country? We asked Tim Collins of the Buffalo Astronomical Association.
