[00:00:00]Imagine sitting in your house on a Saturday afternoon, and suddenly a massive double explosion shakes your windows and terrifies your pets. That's exactly what happened across Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire at 2:06 p.m. People thought a tree hit their house or a transformer blew. But the government quickly checked it was not an earthquake. So, what was it? NASA just confirmed it was a rogue space rock. A media, roughly 3 ft wide, slammed into Earth's atmosphere traveling at a mind-boggling 75,000 mph.

[00:00:30]It got so hot and compressed that it completely fragmented 40 mi above the coast. The energy released during that breakup, equivalent to 300 tons of TNT detonating in the sky. That is what created the massive sonic boom heard from Delaware all the way to Montreal.

[00:00:45]Scientists say the leftovers likely plunged right into the ocean. No threat to us, just a friendly reminder from the universe that we live on a floating rock. Did you feel the shake? Let me know in the comments and hit that subscribe button for more crazy space news.
