The American Meteor Society said that the booms heard about 2:30 p.m. were actually caused by a meteor about 3 feet wide entering the atmosphere around the New Hampshire border with Massachusetts, north of Boston.

People in a handful of states posted on social media about feeling the buildings they were in shaking. Several videos posted on X also captured what sounded like two quick booms, with no fire, smoke or other visual causes.

2. I was just reading articles about meteors

and learned there have been a large amount so far in 2026. No explanation as to the possible cause.

I don't believe in coincidences, I believe in synchronicity. Watching YouTube meteor films is an example.

3. It's scary that a 3' wide one would cause shaking. An asteroid would be more than problematic.

4. 25K-160K Miles per hour.

WBZTV in Boston posted on its Instagram account that meteors cause a sonic boom because, "They enter Earth's atmosphere at anywhere from 25,000 to 160,000 miles per hour, and larger space rocks can travel deep enough to create pressure waves."

The station's meteorologist Eric Fisher posted about the blast on his Instagram account. "CONFIRMED: Meteor exploding on entry caused that big boom across the Boston area Saturday afternoon!"

6. 3 feet is a really big one.

"Meteoroids are distinguished as objects significantly smaller than asteroids, ranging in size from grains to objects up to one meter (3.28 feet) wide. Objects smaller than meteoroids are classified as micrometeoroids or space dust. Many are fragments from comets or asteroids, whereas others are collision impact debris ejected from bodies such as the Moon or Mars."

5. If I had heard that in our area, I would have said "Meh, just blowing up old munitions out on the Arsenal".

That happens on a regular basis; it used to be restricted to Thursdays (I don't know why). Lately it seems I'm as likely to hear it on Wed or Fri. Some of them do shake the house noticeably.

8. Aliens are too smart to decide to come to the USA while tRump is still alive.

They're probably boycotting all travel to the USA like all smart tourists are doing due to the fucking moron. They certainly would not want to be "taken to our leader".
