On March 17, 2026, a 7-ton asteroid roughly six feet in diameter exploded over Medina County, Ohio, with the force of 250 tons of TNT, producing a rare daytime fireball visible from Wisconsin to Maryland and a sonic boom that rattled buildings across the region. The event has triggered a scramble among meteorite hunters from across the country searching a 20-mile strewn field for fragments worth up to hundreds of dollars per gram, while raising questions about planetary defense gaps, property rights, and the tension between commercial recovery and scientific preservation.
