If it hit, then it's a meteorite, not a meteor...

And this is interesting, how?

Large meteorite hits are pretty rare, I think the last one was the Russian one a few years back which caused some pretty major damage (although that was made much more interesting by all the dashboard cams of Russians not giving a fuck as a massive meteorite explodes in front of them).

Interesting. Hopefully it didn't disintegrate so there is stuff to collect and study!

We've two meteor showers visiting Earth currently. From that angle seen it's nothing special.
There were more sightings similar to the pic in the OP.
