A meteor over Massachusetts during the weekend ultimately prompted reports of booms and sightings across New England into Canada.
The American Meteor Society said that the meteor in question was about 3ft (1 meter) wide as it entered the atmosphere around the New Hampshire border with Massachusetts, north of Boston.
Officials with the US space agency Nasa confirmed that the meteor was natural material, not a satellite or space debris – and that it entered the atmosphere at 2.06pm on Saturday.
