The location of the meteor explosion was centered at 4.5 degrees South latitude, 120 degrees East longitude. The object was probably about 20 to 30 feet (5 to 10 meters) in length.
The approximate location (above water or land) where the meteor exploded was not able to be determined. However, it was stated that the explosion "... was relatively near the coast." [Report]
According to the Sky and Telescope article, “… this was the most powerful meteoric blast since 1994, when a "mini-Tunguska," nearly as bright as the Sun, exploded over the tiny Pacific island of Kosrae.”
The meteor explosion is not an unusual or rare event on Earth. Silber and Brown state that such explosions occur about once every two to twelve years.
NASA's NEO office states, "As a rule, the most common types of stony asteroids would not be expected to
cause ground damage unless their diameters were about 25 meters in diameter or
larger."
