Reports of loud booms and a fireball in the sky spread across parts of the US Northeast and into Canada over the weekend. Multiple outlets say the American Meteor Society identifies the cause as a meteor entering Earth’s atmosphere near the Massachusetts–New Hampshire border, north of Boston. The society estimates the object is about 3 feet (roughly 1 meter) wide. Residents in several locations report hearing a double boom that shook buildings in parts of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, while others describe seeing a bright fireball. The boom reports also prompt police agencies and other local services to respond and investigate what happened, though the reports are consistent with the meteor explanation. Coverage notes that sightings and reports extend beyond Massachusetts to other areas, including Delaware and as far as Montreal. While details vary by location—some report sound only, others report visual sightings—the sources broadly agree on the timing, geographic spread, and the size and entry location of the meteor as given by the American Meteor Society.
