These types of meteors are also known as fireballs (or bolides) with the brightest known as superbolides. Contrary to common "shooting stars", these larger meteors were originally asteroids and comets of a few to several tens of meters in diameter before impacting with Earth's atmosphere.The best known, and most spectacular was the 1908 Tunguska event. The appearance of extremely bright fireballs traveling across the sky is often witnessed from afar, such as the 2012 Sutter's Mill meteorite and 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor. Modern developments in infrasound detection by the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization and infrared DSP satellite technology have reduced the likelihood of undetected airbursts."@en }
