Remarks | Large explosion/boom sound that shook the windows, excited the dog, echoed through the canyon and woke up sleepers in the house. Sound reported all over local counties. Was at first attributed to a jet as a sonic boom; however we are fairly certain now it was a meteor as people are reporting fireball sightings. |
