Check video of Eric Fisher’s report. He is a local meteorologist and has image that he indicates is definitely not lightning (although we had storms this morning). It looks the object disintegrated off the southern coast of Massachusetts. Although I did not see the fireball, I thought this information would be helpful to you so wanted to pass along. The sounds were heard in numerous cities/towns across eastern MA.
