Bright Fireball Reported Across Southeast U.S. Sky
June 26, 2025 – Numerous eyewitnesses across the Southeast United States reported seeing a bright fireball streak across the daytime sky earlier today. While official confirmation is still pending, preliminary satellite data may offer a clue.
Between 12:51 and 12:56 PM EDT, a streak of activity was detected by satellite-based lightning sensors in a clear-sky area over the North Carolina–Virginia border, specifically above Gasburg, Virginia. Notably, this was not accompanied by any thunderstorm activity, supporting the possibility of a meteor rather than atmospheric lightning.
No ground impact or damage has been reported as of now, and the American Meteor Society is likely to investigate further as more reports are submitted.
Residents who witnessed the fireball are encouraged to report their sightings, photos, or videos to local authorities or online meteor tracking organizations.
Stay tuned for updates as more information becomes available.

Preliminary Magnitude 4.6 Earthquake Strikes Campi Flegrei, Italy
A preliminary magnitude 4.6 earthquake recently shook the Campi Flegrei volcanic area in Italy, occurring at a shallow depth of 4.9 kilometers. This event marks the latest in a series of seismic swarms that have been ongoing in this active caldera near Naples. Ongoing Seismic Activity at Campi Flegrei Campi Flegrei is a large volcanic caldera known for its potential volcanic hazards. Over the past several months, authorities have reported continuous seismic swarms — numerous small to moderate earthquakes occurring in clusters. The recent magnitude 4.6 quake is among the strongest recorded in this swarm. Monitoring and Safety Measures Given the active nature of Campi Flegrei and its proximity to densely populated areas around Naples, local and national geological agencies are closely monitoring seismic and volcanic activity. Experts are analyzing data in real time to assess any changes in the risk level and to prepare timely warnings if needed.

5.3-magnitude earthquake struck central Pakistan
A magnitude-5.3 earthquake struck central Pakistan on Sunday morning, according to the United States Geological Survey. There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage from the shallow quake, which USGS reported had occurred around 3:30 am (2230 GMT) with the epicenter around 60 kilometers (37 miles) north-northeast of Barkhan, a city in Pakistan's mountainous Balochistan province. Pakistan straddles the boundary where the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates meet, making the country susceptible to earthquakes. The region can be challenging to navigate during crisis situations — in 2015, a 7.5-magnitude quake in Pakistan and Afghanistan killed almost 400 people across rugged terrain that impeded relief efforts. The country was also hit by a 7.6-magnitude quake in 2005 that killed more than 73,000 people and left about 3.5 million homeless, mainly in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir. Balochistan province, Pakistan's largest, saw a quake in 2021 that killed at least 20 people and left more than 10 injured, with landslides hampering initial rescue efforts in the remote mountainous district of Harnai.
