A boom heard across Central New York this afternoon is believed by experts to be caused by a large daytime meteor reported by some in western New York.
This video by Bekka Gunner of Untamed Adventure Dogs captured the meteor in Erie County from a camera on a dog sled.
“I hope I got that!” a person can be heard saying.
They sure got it. (You can see the meteor at about the 34 second mark.)
“Holy #%+@$&!!! I have chills. Talk about cosmic energy! What are the chances of seeing this let alone getting it on video!” Gunner wrote on Facebook.

Central New York
The boom reported in Onondaga County and beyond was likely a sonic boom from a meteor. The loud, far-reaching booms happen when meteors rip through the atmosphere.
Residents from Clinton in Oneida County to Camillus called 911 Wednesday afternoon to report an explosion. Multiple police agencies and fire departments investigated the cause of the boom.
The first report in Onondaga County was made at 12:12 p.m.
The boom shook windows and awoke pets from their naps.
Residents, many working from home due to the coronavirus pandemic, peered outside their homes, checking to see what could have caused the noise and rattle.
