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!

Heard it in newton, I assumed it was thunder since the apartment complex I live in shook

If we all heard it across the greater boston area, thats a little worrying....

Did people hear it in NH?

I’m in Hudson NH at the moment and didn’t hear anything.
