Weather radar detected a flash in an area without thunder activity, consistent with a bolide, a meteor that explodes in the atmosphere. While the radar signature suggests a meteor, confirmation requires finding debris pieces. Residents from northern New England to southern Rhode Island reported the sudden noise, which caused a brief period of confusion and concern.
