A meteorite exploded with energy equivalent to a small nuclear bomb discovered at an altitude of 43.4 km in the sky of Greenland, not far from the US Air Force base, NASA space explorers on 1/8 announcement on Twitter, follow Reuter.

The giant fireball was discovered on July 25 by the US government's radar system. At first, many argued that this was a military attack, however, NASA scientists quickly dismissed it."It is certainly not a Russian attack , " said Hans Kristensen, director of the US Scientists Federation's (FAS) Nuclear Information Project (FAS).

The mysterious fireball in the sky of Greenland is determined to be caused by meteorites. According to Ron Baalke, space explorer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, meteorites fell at a rate of 24.5 km / h, ignited and exploded, creating a light trail 43 km long in the sky. The energy of the explosion is estimated at 2.1 kiloton, equivalent to the power of a small nuclear bomb.
