A meteor exploded off the coast of Massachusetts on May 30, and video and audio clips shared online captured the fireball and massive boom it caused.
NASA confirmed through satellite images that the meteor broke apart at an altitude of about 40 miles over northeastern Massachusetts at 2:06 p.m. ET.
The agency said in a statement on X that the meteor released energy equivalent to about 300 tons of TNT explosives, causing a loud noise in the area. The pieces of the meteor landed in Cape Cod Bay, NASA also said.
People as far south as Rhode Island and Cape Cod reported feeling it on the ground, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
Here's a look at videos capturing the sights and sounds of the meteor.
