The Role of Source Geometry and Atmospheric Propagation in Global Bolide Infrasound Detectability
arXiv:2606.04278v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Global infrasound monitoring provides a persistent means of detecting energetic bolide atmospheric entries, complementing optical observations and extending coverage over remote regions. We present a global assessment of the physical factors governing bolide infrasound detectability by correlating 623 bolide events reported by the Center for Near-Earth Object Studies between 2007 and 2025 with waveform data from the International...

East Coast rocked by sonic boom as meteorologist reveals cause
East Coast rocked by sonic boom as meteorologist reveals cause Some residents in Massachusetts said the boom even shook their homes - Bookmark - CommentsGo to comments A sonic boom that left people across New England looking to the sky was likely a meteor, according to meteorologists. Police departments in Massachusetts began receiving calls Saturday afternoon of a loud boom coming from the sky. The source of the sound was likely a meteor or a bolide, which is a meteor that explodes in the...

'Very loud boom' leaves houses shaking in Boston as experts share meteor theory
'Very loud boom' leaves houses shaking in Boston as experts share meteor theory People are reporting that a "loud boom" has rocked Boston and Rhode Island - this is a breaking story People across Massachusetts have reported a "loud boom" or "explosion". Residents in Boston and Rhode Island reported the boom at around 2.30pm EDT (7.30pm BST) on Saturday, and meteorologists believe it could be linked to a meteor. "Reports of an explosion hears around Boston I believe are going to be a rather...
NASA confirms exploding meteor caused the sonic boom over Boston
Meteor caught by the GOES-19 weather satellite breaking up 40 miles above the ground. On Saturday, at around 2:06 pm ET, a meteor streaked over the northeastern US and exploded north of Cape Cod Bay. The fireball was caught on camera by several people, shook houses, and can even be seen clearly in satellite imagery, lighting up the sky.
Massive boom over northeastern US was a meteor explosion as powerful as 300 tons of TNT, NASA confirms
Massive boom over northeastern US was a meteor explosion as powerful as 300 tons of TNT, NASA confirms Unfortunately for meteorite-hunters, it appears that pieces of the space rock all fell into the middle of Cape Cod Bay. A sonic boom heard throughout the northeastern United States last week was caused by a meteor, NASA confirmed after consulting satellite imagery. The meteor's boom, heard widely on Saturday (May 30) at 2:06 p.m. EDT (local time), was audible over the northeastern U.S. NASA...
Meteor triggers loud boom and shaking felt across Massachusetts
A meteor traveling at thens of thousands of miles an hour triggered a loud boom and ground shaking that were felt across Massachusetts on Saturday afternoon. NASA confirmed a fireball, meaning a bright meteor, passed over the state at 2:06 p.m. at an estimated speed of 75,000 mph, releasing what it said was the equivalent of about 300 tons of TNT upon breakup. “It appears to have fragmented at an altitude of 40 miles above extreme northeast Massachusetts/southeast New Hampshire,” NASA said...
