Experts believe the object weighed about 10 tons and was about 32.8 feet (10 m) across. The object disintegrated about 20 to 30 miles (32.2 to 48.2 km) above Earth's surface at about 9:20 a.m. local time (2:20 a.m. EST), traveling at least 33,000 mph at the time, according to NBC News. The statement said that meteorites - fragments of the meteor's breakup - may have reached the ground.
