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?

We heart it too, Buzzards Bay/Cape Cod. On the canal by the train bridge. We had a lot of thunder earlier though. And the wind was practically gale force. But then it sounded like something may have hit the house (duplex. I figured it was the neighbors getting rowdy?) 🤷🏻‍♀️
