Since then, the event has been confirmed by the JPL Center for NEO Studies (CNEOS) who computes high-precision orbits for Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) in support of NASA’s Planetary Defense Coordination Office.
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory confirmed “an object of unspecified size travelling at 24.4km/s struck earth in Greenland, just 43km (~28 miles) north of an early missile warning Thule Air Base on the 25th of July, 2018”. There was no public warning from the US government about the incident.
