A meteor streaked through the sky above New York City Tuesday morning, dazzling onlookers with a fiery display above Midtown Manhattan.

The celestial event occurred at 11:17 a.m., according to NASA, when the space rock entered Earth's atmosphere and ignited, generating a fireball that could be seen across the city.

Residents in the five boroughs also reported hearing a loud boom and feeling shaking around the same time, though it remains unclear if that was directly related to the meteor.

The fireball was first spotted at an altitude of 49 miles above the Upper Bay, east of Greenville Yard, according to information from NASA Meteor Watch. Traveling at a speed of 34,000 miles per hour, the meteor descended into the atmosphere and passed over the Statue of Liberty before breaking apart approximately 29 miles above Midtown Manhattan.

"This trajectory estimate is based on limited eyewitness accounts, as no camera or satellite data is currently available to provide a more precise calculation," NASA officials said in a statement posted to social media.

The event did not create any meteorites, NASA said.

There were reports of military activity in the area at the time of the sighting, which may be the cause of the shaking and booming sounds heard, NASA officials said.

Authorities have not issued any alerts or warnings related to the meteor, and no injuries or damage was reported in connection with the event.
