A massive boom that shook northeast Ohio and was reportedly heard as far away as New York was the result of a rare daytime meteor, Pittsburgh’s National Weather Service confirmed.

The fireball streaked across the sky just before 9 a.m., dramatic video posted online showed the meteor flare up as it entered the atmosphere.

Locals flocked to social media to report the boom was so powerful that it rattled their houses and even knocked pictures off walls.

Meteorologist Jeff Tanchak of 19 News said the boom was the result of the meteor breaking the sound barrier.
