Interesting: A “car-sized” meteor exploded in the atmosphere above the Caribbean, 170 miles south of Puerto Rico.

Telescopes observed the asteroid before impact. A weather satellite designed to detect lightning picked up the flash. Debris showed up on weather radar, and a Nuclear Test Ban monitoring station picked up the infrasound.
