Meteor Explosion Over New England Causes Double Boom, Shakes Homes
A meteor exploded over New England on Saturday afternoon, creating a significant daytime fireball and a 'double boom' that shook homes across the region. The American Meteor Society reported that the meteor entered the atmosphere around 2:30 p.m. and disintegrated over the ocean near eastern Massachusetts. Residents from Boston to Lexington reported hearing the loud explosion, with some noting that the force was strong enough to rattle windows. According to Robert Lunsford of the Fireball Program Monitor at the American Meteor Society, the meteor was unusually large, approximately a yard wide. Despite the intensity of the explosion, it is believed that the meteor did not hit the ground, as most meteors burn up before reaching the Earth's surface. The US Geological Survey received multiple reports of the shaking, but no seismic activity was recorded, confirming that the event was not an earthquake. The phenomenon was visible from Delaware to Montreal.
