Meteor Likely Behind Cleveland Boom, NWS Says
A loud boom heard across Cleveland (and as far as New York and Pennsylvania) is likely from a meteor, per the National Weather Service, which cited data from a geostationary lightning mapper and a Pittsburgh-area employee’s video of the meteor arcing across the sky. The NWS said the boom may have occurred when the meteor broke the sound barrier, though the exact entry time is unclear. The American Meteor Society had not yet commented. There have been other fireball sightings in Ohio recently.
