[00:00:00]A quiet afternoon in New England suddenly turned confusing. People heard a loud boom, some homes shook, windows rattled, but there was no earthquake, no visible explosion, and no clear source on the ground. Then scientists traced it back to something much higher in the sky. NASA confirmed that a small meteor had exploded over the northeastern United States, releasing energy equal to about 300 tons of TNT. The strange part is that the object was not massive.

[00:00:26][music] Reports suggest it may have been roughly around 1 m wide, was moving at about 75,000 mph, and at that speed, even a small space rock can create a powerful atmospheric shockwave. The meteor broke apart around 40 miles above the ground, which is why people heard the boom, but did not see major damage.

[00:00:43]NASA also confirmed it was not a satellite, not space junk, and not connected to an active meteor shower.

[00:00:49]So, the real question is not just what happened over New England. It is how many small objects like this pass near Earth. To learn more about this, you can watch our full video on YouTube.
