The roughly car-size asteroid safely flew by Earth, passing roughly 12,000 miles above Earth\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One Floridian captured the moment and shared the footage online. He was driving at the time, and his Tesla\u2019s built-in camera captured the meteor in flight. Tesla recently updated their software to allow their vehicles to record video from the autopilot camera to a USB drive plugged into the vehicle. These dashcam recordings often capture near-miss accidents, vandalism, and many other events that would go unseen if these cameras weren\u2019t in place.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/thecollinlee\/status\/1381798476607021056?s=20<br \/>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the second notable fireball over U.S. skies in recent weeks. Late on March 25, a Falcon 9 second stage reentered over the Pacific North-West. This fireball\u2019s proximity to the Florida Space Coast led to some early speculation that this could be related to a recent SpaceX launch from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, but this is highly unlikely.<\/p>\n<p>\t<span class=\"outbrain-ad-label\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<script type=\"text\/plain\">\n\t\t\twindow.adSlotsConfig = window.adSlotsConfig || [];<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tadSlotsConfig.push( {\n\t\t\t\tslotID: '\/1049447\/Outbrain',\n\t\t\t\tslotName: 'div-gpt-ad-outbrain-ad-12402',\n\t\t\t\tsizes: [300, 250],\n\t\t\t\tslotPosition: 'mid_article'\n\t\t\t} );\n\t\t<\/script><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" class=\"\" style=\"position: static;
