A massive boom that shook northeast Ohio and was reportedly heard as far away as New York was the result of a rare daytime meteor, Pittsburgh’s National Weather Service confirmed. The fireball streaked across the sky just before 9 a.m., and dramatic video posted online showed the meteor flare up as it entered the atmosphere. Locals flocked to social media to report that the boom was so powerful that it rattled their houses and even knocked pictures off the walls.
Meteorologist Jeff Tanchak of 19 News said the boom was the result of the meteor breaking the sound barrier, meaning it was traveling at least 767 mph at the time. According to the National Weather Service in Cleveland, “The latest GLM imagery (1301Z) does suggest the boom was the result of a meteor” - referencing the Geostationary Lightning Mapper, which the Weather Service uses to count lightning strikes during a storm. The boom was heard across Pennsylvania and even in parts of western New York.
