Near-Earth objects observations programme manager at NASA – Kelly Fast told BBC – That was 40% the energy release of Chelyabinsk, but it was over the Bering Sea so it didn’t have the same type of effect or show up in the news.

According to the report, it was the second-largest of its kind since 1908, after a meteor that exploded over the Russian region of Chelyabinsk six years ago. As per Sky news, the blast damaged over 7,000 buildings and injured almost 1,000 people, many of whom were standing near windows to record the meteor on their phones.
