It is the largest incident of its type since 2013 when a fireball exploded over Russia leaving more than 1,600 people injured.
A large fireball from space crashed into the Atlantic earlier this month - but it was barely noticed.
The very bright meteor exploded in the air 620 miles off the
coast of Brazil, releasing the energy equivalent to 13,000 tons of TNT -
the same as the first atomic weapon that levelled Hiroshima.
