NEW YORK (WABC) -- Could a meteor be the cause of a loud boom that was heard in parts of New York City and northern New Jersey?
New York City officials began checking out reports in Staten Island, Brooklyn and Queens of a loud noise heard Tuesday morning. There were also similar reports in New Jersey.
New York City Emergency Management Department received an update from NASA, who estimated that a meteor entered the atmosphere and disintegrated above the New York City metropolitan area earlier on Tuesday.
Preliminary analysis indicates the meteor passed over the Statue of Liberty before fragmenting high above midtown Manhattan. No meteorites were produced by the event.
