1972 Great Daylight Fireball
Okay, so a long time ago in 1972, there was a big bright object flying through the sky. It was called the Great Daylight Fireball. Lots of people saw it and thought it was really cool!
Now, you may be wondering what exactly was this big bright object? Well, it was a meteor! Meteors are chunks of rock and metal that come from space and burn up in the Earth's atmosphere.
The Great Daylight Fireball was really special because it was so big and bright that people could see it during the day, not just at night when they usually see shooting stars.
But don't worry, even though it was really big and bright, it didn't hurt anyone. It just reminded us that there are really cool things happening up in space that we sometimes get to see from here on Earth.
