On Saturday, a meteor exploded over parts of Massachusetts and New Hampshire, creating a spectacular fireball and powerful sonic booms that resonated across the northeastern United States. The event, which occurred around 2:06 p.m. EDT, was confirmed by NASA and other monitoring agencies as a natural phenomenon, not related to any meteor shower or space debris. The meteor, traveling at nearly 75,000 miles per hour, fragmented at an altitude of 40 miles, releasing energy comparable to 300 tons of TNT. Eyewitnesses reported feeling vibrations and hearing loud noises, with some describing the experience as two separate explosions. The United States Geological Survey noted that the sonic booms were felt along a linear path in the atmosphere, distinguishing them from earthquakes. Fortunately, despite the dramatic display, officials reported no injuries or damage from the event.
