A rare meteor, identified as a 7-ton asteroid, exploded in the skies over Cleveland, Ohio, creating a powerful sonic boom that rattled residents as far away as Pennsylvania and New York. The stunning fireball, visible across much of the eastern U.S., was reported to have exploded during the day, with experts noting it unleashed energy equivalent to 250 tons of TNT. Residents in Medina County and surrounding areas reported sightings and felt the impact, prompting discussions about what to do if they find meteorite fragments. NASA confirmed that the loud boom and visual spectacle were caused by the meteor breaking apart, leading to a quest for any fallen fragments. Videos captured by locals show the meteor streaking across the sky, and witnesses described the loud explosion as exceeding their expectations, marking a unique and thrilling event in Northeast Ohio.
