Rare daytime meteor seen over Cleveland, Ohio, with boom heard as far away as New York​

A massive boom that shook northeast Ohio and was reportedly heard as far away as New York was the result of a rare daytime meteor, Pittsburgh’s National Weather Service confirmed.

The fireball streaked across the sky just before 9 a.m., and dramatic video posted online showed the meteor flare up as it entered the atmosphere.

Meteorologist Jeff Tanchak of 19 News said the boom was the result of the meteor breaking the sound barrier, meaning it was traveling at least 767 mph at the time.

According to the National Weather Service in Cleveland, “The latest GLM imagery (1301Z) does suggest the boom was the result of a meteor” — referencing the Geostationary Lightning Mapper, which the Weather Service uses to count lightning strikes during a storm.

When I was about 9-10 years old (1963-64 ) we heard sonic booms quite frequently, some were extremely strong.
