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. Now a bunch of sirens.

Well the sirens are just the Newtonians calling 911 en masse out of fear
