A small meteor caused a significant sonic boom over the Massachusetts–New Hampshire border on May 30, 2026.
The explosion, triggered by a 3-to-5-foot wide object, released energy equivalent to 300 tons of TNT.
Modern sensor networks like doorbell cameras are helping document these frequent cosmic intrusions more effectively than in the past.
Despite increased fireball sightings this spring, the statistical probability of a human being struck by a meteorite remains incredibly low.
