#MeteorSighting: Eyewitnesses in New England and @NOAA’s GOES-19 satellite reported a bright fireball on Saturday, May 30, at 2:06 p.m EDT accompanied by a loud noise. The meteor appears to have fragmented at an altitude of 40 miles over northeast MA and southeast NH. The energy released at breakup is estimated to be equivalent to about 300 tons of TNT, which accounts for the loud noise.
Eyewitness accounts supplied by the American Meteor Society.
The flash density product really shows this anomalous "flash" which is pretty distinctive of a bolide/meteor reentry. east of Boston. This is the likely source of the loud boom/explosion.
The Jonas Brothers need to be studied because it doesn’t matter how many shows you go to or how many times you hear the same songs, it will never get old
One year since the most fun, most *slightly* unhinged, and most epic 20 year celebration we could have ever imagined. Thank you to the best fans in the world. We love you to heaven. #JONASCON
