On Saturday afternoon, a bolide meteor entered the atmosphere near Cape Cod Bay, Massachusetts, causing a sonic boom that startled many in New England. NASA and the American Meteor Society confirmed that the meteor, measuring about three feet in diameter and traveling at approximately 75,000 miles per hour, released energy equivalent to 300 tons of dynamite. This event was particularly notable due to the meteor's near-90-degree entry angle, which is rare for meteors, as they usually burn up at higher altitudes. The meteor landed about 10 to 15 miles off the coast, raising questions about potential meteorites resting on the seabed. Experts suggest that while there is a chance of recovery, the depth of the bay, ranging from 60 to 100 feet, complicates efforts. Additionally, the meteor's impact has sparked discussions about the relationship between climate change and meteor activity, indicating that a warmer atmosphere could affect how meteors behave as they enter. However, conclusive evidence is still lacking. Overall, this incident highlights the unpredictability and excitement of meteor events.
