A loud sonic boom that reverberated across parts of New England has been attributed to a meteor explosion, with reports of the sound echoing from Massachusetts to as far as Delaware and Montreal. NASA confirmed that a fireball traveling at approximately 75,000 mph disintegrated in the atmosphere, creating a noise equivalent to a 300-ton TNT explosion. Residents across Boston and surrounding areas experienced shaking and confusion, prompting inquiries about the mysterious event. Experts indicate that the culprit was likely a 3-foot meteor that exploded mid-air, causing the widespread sonic boom. Public safety officials reported no damage from the incident and clarified that the sound was the result of a natural occurrence.
