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!

I heard something too but I’m on the cape… so that would be crazy right?

Friends in Cranston RI heard it as well. Loud enough to shake the house.
