A meteor entered Earth’s atmosphere over Ohio and Pennsylvania on March 17, 2026, causing a loud boom and bright flash, with no injuries or damage reported.
A loud boom heard across parts of Ohio and Pennsylvania on Tuesday morning, March 17, 2026, was confirmed by the National Weather Service in Cleveland to have been caused by a meteor entering Earth’s atmosphere.
Officials cited data from the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) showing a sudden energy release at 1301Z (1:01 UTC), consistent with a meteor’s atmospheric entry.
The event, reported by multiple residents who described a bright flash and explosive sound, likely involved the meteor breaking apart at high altitude, producing a sonic boom.
No injuries or property damage were reported.
The Pittsburgh NWS office supported the conclusion, and while details on the meteor’s size, trajectory, or debris location remain unclear, the scientific consensus confirms a natural, extraterrestrial origin.
