The entry of Sar2667 was only the seventh time that an Earth asteroid impact was predicted in advance.
The agency earlier said the object was expected to "safely strike" the earth's atmosphere near the French city of Rouen. The International Meteor Organization, a Belgium-based non-profit, said the object would have entered roughly 2.5 miles from the French coast, creating a "fireball" effect as it burned up in the atmosphere.
Social media users shared footage of the entry, with one writing that the asteroid "lit up the sky with a pink flash which was spectacular."The last Earth asteroid entry predicted ahead of time occurred over Ontario, Canada, in November last year. In December last year, aAsteroid Sar2667, about a meter in diameter, was expected to fall near the French city of Le Havre at 02:59h UTC.
