Meteor Causes Shaking and Loud Boom Over NYC and NJ

NASA estimates a meteor passed over New York City and the Statue of Liberty on Tuesday morning, causing reports of a fireball in the sky and shaking felt by residents in the tri-state area. The meteor, traveling at 34,000 miles per hour, disintegrated 29 miles above midtown Manhattan. No meteorites were produced, and no earthquakes were detected. Military activity in the area may have contributed to the shaking and sounds reported. NASA's information is preliminary as it continues to gather data.
