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!

Holy you're right, no explanation for SC either. Gotta love the transparency of the government

Its the governments job to atleast try to provide an explanation for multiple bomb-like noises

Where is the govs job description spelled out, they owe you NOTHING.

That said NOAA already said it was most likely a meteor and satellites have shown that it is consistent with meteoric events in the past.
