Small asteroid creates 'spectacular fireball' while burning up over Philippines

Video Credit is Must - Raymon Dullana

A small asteroid burned up after it entered the Earth's atmosphere Wednesday afternoon over the Philippines. It did not cause any harm to humans or infrastructure. Footage captured by Raymon Dullana shows the spectacular event
The Catalina Sky Survey discovered the object, initially called CAQTDL2 but now named 2024 RW1, this morning. Asteroids around 1 meter in size are estimated to hit Earth about every two weeks, according to the space agency, though they are very rarely spotted before making impact with the planet. The object was harmless as it was small enough to burn up in the atmosphere upon entry. Sky-gazers in the area posted video on social media that captured a spectacular fireball.
