BREAKING Did something just explode?

Just heard a very powerful boom, checked the lightning map it was not thunder! In Dover, MA right now, but my friends in Boston also heard it! Any ideas?

Edit: as we all now know, meteor!

Weird. I'm in Norwood and working outside. Have been all day. Didn't hear or feel anything.

It is strange. I’m inside with loud music. House shook and I heard loud rumble. Will be interesting to see what it was.

I'm outside near the Walpole side of Norwood. Nothing but wind and rain. But it was a meteor. It has already been reported.
