Daylight fireball sparks widespread reports across the Northeast

A daytime fireball about three feet wide produced a double boom and shook buildings from Massachusetts to Rhode Island, with dozens of sightings from Delaware to Montreal. While the American Meteor Society says the event was a meteor that likely burned up, not an earthquake, USGS said there was shaking but no earthquake detected on seismographs; researchers will need trajectory data to determine if any debris reached the ground, possibly landing in the ocean.
