American Meteor Society received nearly 280 reports of a fireball
A meteor flew over the city Tuesday night around the same time the Blue Jays punched their ticket to a playoff showdown with the Texas Rangers, leaving many fans wondering if it was Edwin Encarnacion’s home-run shot streaking across the sky.
Around 11:30 p.m. ET Tuesday, the UTSC Observatory, the astronomical observatory of the University of Toronto’s Scarborough campus, tweeted that it had recorded its first meteor.
