Massachusetts Meteor Creates Sonic Boom and Shakes New England

A meteor exploded over Massachusetts, generating a loud sonic boom that rattled homes across the region, with reports of the explosion being heard as far as Delaware and Montreal. NASA has confirmed that the meteor, larger than initially thought and weighing as much as an elephant, detonated with a force equivalent to 230 tons of TNT. Fragments of the meteorite are believed to have landed in Cape Cod Bay. Videos captured the moment the meteor entered the atmosphere, creating widespread speculation and excitement among residents. Experts have suggested that recovering the meteorite pieces from the bay may be akin to a fishing expedition.
