Meteor Explodes Over Massachusetts, Causing Loud Booms and Shaking Buildings
A meteor traveling at 75,000 miles per hour exploded over northeastern Massachusetts and southeastern New Hampshire, creating loud booms equivalent to 300 tons of TNT. The event occurred on a Saturday afternoon, as reported by NASA. The meteor was not part of any active meteor shower and was a natural object, not space debris. The explosion was powerful enough to be heard across the region, causing alarm among residents who reported shaking buildings and loud noises. The meteor's breakup at an altitude of 40 miles released significant energy, accounting for the widespread booms.
