Did You See a Giant Fireball Explode in the Sky? Neither Did We. [VIDEO]

A giant fireball entered our atmosphere and exploded with the same amount of energy as an atomic bomb. And, nobody saw it.

It happened over the Atlantic ocean, hundreds of miles from anywhere. NASA reported it because, they're the ones that track of this kind of stuff. Right? Nope, they heard about it from someone else, most likely the military. The government won't say who spotted it but astronomer and writer Phil Plait suspects either:

"Satellite observations, which would image them directly; seismic monitors, which can detect the explosion as the sound wave from the blast moves through the ground; and atmospheric microphones, which can detect the long-wavelength infrasound from an event."

Plait estimates the size of this sucker at a whopping 23 feet across. Can you imagine what a bigger one will do?
