Some central New York residents reported hearing a loud, explosive-like sound that experts say may have been a sonic boom from a meteor.
The Post-Standard reports 911 centers in both Onondaga and Oswego counties reported receiving several calls about a loud boom Monday evening.
Robert Lunsford, a manager at the American Meteor Society, says the evidence points to a sonic boom created by a meteor burning up in the earth�s atmosphere.
Seven people across upstate New York, Pennsylvania and Canada made official reports to the nonprofit.
Lunsford adds the noise is nothing to worry about and that these �booms� happen frequently.
Emergency crews and investigators have not been able to identify the source of the sound.
