Pasadena, California (GroundReport) - According to published reports, an asteroid measuring several feet in diameter is expected to enter the earth's atmosphere over northern Sudan before dawn on Tuesday. The asteroid is expected to set off a display of natural fireworks in the sky.

"We estimate objects of this size enter earth's atmosphere once every few months," said Don Yeomans of the Near-Earth Object Office at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena in a report on rediff.com.
