It's estimated that over 2 metric tons of meteor bits landed in the Pacific Ocean about 15.5 miles (25 km) off the coast of Washington after briefly lighting up the sky as a fireball (see video embedded below) on the evening of March 7. 

NASA scientist Marc Fries is on the nonprofit Ocean Exploration Trust's E/V Nautilus, which is taking a look at the sea floor within a section of the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary. That's where radar saw the cosmic debris splash down.
