Fortunately, the skies were clear enough that the asteroid #2024RW1 née #CAQTDL2’s meteor-fireball-bolide phase was visible and with plenty of videos taken.

As already mentioned by many outlets, this was only the 9th time a meteor was predicted in advance which meant that lots of people were expecting it.

Various astronomers are reporting that a 1-meter asteroid (#CAQTDL2) discovered by the #CatalinaSkySurvey this morning will become a meteor by striking the atmosphere at around 16:39 UTC (12:39am local time) over northern #Luzon island in the #Philippines 🇵🇭.
No damage is expected but if there are clear skies tonight (Typhoon #Yagi / #EntengPH is in the area) people can expect to see an impressive fireball. 🌠
