What they’re saying:<\/p>\n

The latest GLM imagery (1301Z) does suggest that the boom was a result of a meteor,” officials said on social media.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Video perspective:<\/p>\n

An employee with the Pittsburgh station also caught video<\/a> of the meteor from the area.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What is a meteor?\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Big picture view:<\/p>\n

A meteor is a space rock (meteorite) that has entered Earth\u2019s atmosphere. It often enters at high speeds and burns up, looking to us like a fireball or “shooting star.”<\/p>\n

A meteorite is a rock that survives the trip through the atmosphere and hits the ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dig deeper:<\/p>\n

Meteors travel through the sky at tens of thousands of miles per hour \u2014 well above the speed of sound \u2014 and their altitude and size dictate whether a sonic boom can be heard on the Earth’s surface,\u00a0according to FOX Weather<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
