Here it is! FIRST CONFIRMED METEORITE. Roberto Vargas, a Meteorite Hunter from Connecticut was the first to find an official fragment from the St. Patrick's Day Asteroid Explosion in Medina County Ohio. It weighs 10 grams. Officials from the American Meteor Society also confirmed 2 other 5 gram fragments were found nearby today. All are rare fragments known as "achondrites," formed by the melting and re-crystallization on larger asteroids. No meteorite of any kind has been found in Ohio since the 1990s...until today. Truly historic! Show this to you friends and family.

☄️ BREAKING NEWS! A 7-TON ASTEROID EXPLODED over Northeast Ohio just before 9am 3/17, ripping through the atmosphere at 40,000 mph before detonating with the force of 250 tons of TNT. 💥 NASA says the fireball first appeared 50 miles above Lake Erie near Lorain, blazing a bright streak across the sky before fragmenting 30 miles above Valley City, Ohio in Medina County. The shockwave was strong enough to send booms across the region and even shake houses several counties away.
Even more incredible: pieces of this asteroid may now be scattered across Medina County as meteorites. 🪨☄️
👀 Did YOU see the fireball or hear the explosion this morning? It was visible from Toronto to Chicago to Washington DC.
