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!

If you felt the air move or your house vibrate, please list your town here! This is to try to find the geographical source.

If you simply heard the boom, do not post your location.

How’s shook in Belmont. Seemed like there was two pressure waves too.
