A large boom has been felt in eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania after a meteor was spotted over Cleveland. 911 was flooded with reports of an “earthquake-like explosion”. Pittsburgh’s National Weather Service (NWS) confirmed it received reports of “a loud boom and a fireball in the sky” and believe it was possibly a meteor entering the atmosphere”, according to its satellite data.

According to NWS meteorologist Brian Mitchell, the meteor would have burned up in the atmosphere before hitting the ground as there have been no sings of anything hitting the ground. The National Weather Service Pittburgh has posted footage of the bright blaze on its official X account on Tuesday afternoon. The service later confirmed an instrument called a Geostationary Lightning Mapper determined that it was a meteor caused the sound.
