Overview
NASA says a meteor traveled above New England and produced a loud boom that rocked parts of the region Saturday afternoon, with initial reports around 2:11 p.m. Officials estimate the object was about five feet wide and 5.6 metric tons, and that it exploded with the force of roughly 230 tons of TNT after a 26-mile northwest-to-southeast atmospheric path, breaking up near 31 miles altitude. Investigators are reviewing sensor data and public observations to determine whether fragments fell into the ocean.
