A recent explosion over the skies near the California-Nevada border has been confirmed to have been caused by a meteor the "size of a minivan," according to news reports.
The meteor, believed to have been a small asteroid, burned up spectacularly after slamming into the Earth's atmosphere at just under 34,000 miles per hour and generating energy equivalent to the explosion of 3.8 kilotons of TNT, according to Bill Cooke, director of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office.
