A large meteor was seen over parts of the northeastern United States and southern Ontario, creating a loud boom that shook the ground.
The American Meteor Society reported some 150 sightings from residents who saw the fireball over parts of Maryland; Washington, DC; Virginia, Pennsylvania; New York; Ontario; and Michigan on Wednesday.
NASA officials released satellite imagery showing the meteor entering the Earth’s atmosphere over central New York State in the region that lies between Rochester and Syracuse.
