The meteor entered Earth’s atmosphere near the New Hampshire–Massachusetts border north of Boston and measured about 3 feet wide. It fragmented over northeastern Massachusetts and southeastern New Hampshire at 2:06 pm local time (6:06 pm UTC). NASA reported the event released energy equivalent to about 300 tons of TNT, matching reports of a loud double boom that shook buildings in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The object traveled at about 75,000 miles per hour and broke apart at an altitude of 40 miles (64 kilometers). NASA stated it was not linked to an active meteor shower and was not a re-entry of space debris or a satellite.
