Meteor hits ground 27 miles from Thule Air Base. Air Force silent.

The New York Post reports that a meteor

Director of the Nuclear Information Project for the Federation of American Scientists Hans Kristensen tweeted about the impact, but the US Air Force has not reported the event.

Kristensen argues it’s concerning that there was no public warning from the government about the incident.
