Meteor explodes over New England

A meteor streaked across the northeastern United States on Saturday afternoon, exploding approximately 40 miles above the ground. The event, occurring around 2:06 pm ET, generated a sonic boom that was widely felt by residents, with some initially mistaking it for an earthquake. The fireball was captured on multiple cameras and even visible in satellite imagery, briefly illuminating the sky. NASA confirmed the event, describing it as a bright fireball accompanied by a loud noise, traveling at an estimated 75,000 miles per hour before breaking apart.
