The National Weather Service in Cleveland initially said early data suggested a meteor may have been responsible.
Here’s a brief explanation they posted in a conversation on X at 9:14 a.m.
“The latest GLM image (1301Z) does indicate that the explosion was caused by a meteor,” the National Weather Service reported.

Now, additional analysis from NASA provides more clarity.
Witnesses in the northeastern United States and Canada saw a “very bright daylight fireball” on the morning of March 17, according to a NASA Space Alerts post shared on X at 1:08 p.m.
NASA said early data showed the meteor was first visible over Lake Erie before moving southeast at about 45,000 miles per hour.
