" For the first time, astronomers at the University of Hawai?i have demonstrated that their ATLAS and Pan-STARRS survey telescopes can provide sufficient warning to move people away from the impact site of an incoming asteroid. They detected a small asteroid prior to its entering the Earth's atmosphere near Puerto Rico on the morning of June 22, 2019."

Debris in atmosphere was observed by the NWS WSR-88D in San Juan.
