Boende i Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan och New York kunde den 17 februari 2015 se en relativt stor meteor brinna upp i atmosfären. Vikten uppskattades till 500 pound dvs ca 226 kilo. Meteoren bröts sönder någonstans över Keystone State, enligt forskare. Den hade då varit synlig från östkusten till mellanvästern i USA.
