Eyewitnesses reported seeing a bright orange blast followed by a deafening boom at approximately 11:30 AM. The explosion occurred at an altitude of approximately 10,000 feet, according to the National Weather Service. Scientists initially suspected it was a meteor, but subsequent analysis suggests it may have been space debris re-entering the Earth’s atmosphere. The fireball left a trail of smoke and debris that stretched several miles across the sky. Residents and travelers alike rushed to social media to share photos and videos of the extraordinary spectacle. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) temporarily halted departures and arrivals at O’Hare Airport as a precaution. However, operations have since resumed after no damage was reported to any aircraft or airport facilities. “It was like something out of a movie,” said one witness who was driving on the Kennedy Expressway near the airport. “The whole sky lit up, and then there was this massive explosion. I’m still in shock.” Scientists and authorities are continuing to investigate the exact cause of the fireball. Preliminary indications suggest that it was not caused by any malicious activity. The spectacle has rattled residents of Chicago and raised questions about the potential for similar events in the future. Experts emphasize that near-Earth objects like meteors and space debris pose a low risk to public safety, but they urge citizens to remain vigilant and report any unusual sightings.
