A meteor exploded off the coast of Massachusetts on May 30, and video and audio clips shared online captured the fireball and massive boom it caused.

NASA confirmed through satellite images that the meteor broke apart at an altitude of about 40 miles over northeastern Massachusetts at 2:06 p.m. ET.

The agency said in a statement on X that the meteor released energy equivalent to about 300 tons of TNT explosives, causing a loud noise in the area. The pieces of the meteor landed in Cape Cod Bay, NASA also said.

People as far south as Rhode Island and Cape Cod reported feeling it on the ground, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Here's a look at videos capturing the sights and sounds of the meteor.

The American Meteor Society said it received more than 80 witness reports from people who saw the fireball across states including Maryland, New York, Vermont and even up into Canada.

While the meteor caused an eruption across Massachusetts, it was seen falling in nearby states before the explosion.

One video clip, captured on a dash cam and shared with Storyful, shows the fireball flying through the sky in Rome, New York, about 40 miles east of Syracuse.

The driver, Daniel Wilcox, told Storyful he was driving to a fishing spot with a coworker at the time.

"We noticed a bright glow and fast moving object shooting straight downward. I quickly recognized it as a meteor," Wilcox said.

Across Massachusetts and Rhode Island, homeowners unexpectedly caught the sound of the boom through surveillance cameras.

In Milford, Massachusetts, which is about 30 miles west of Boston, Wendy Kroy's home surveillance camera picked up audio of what sounded like a massive but brief explosion. She later shared the video on X.

A few towns over, in Millis, Massachusetts, Angela Chansky's dog recognized the bang immediately. In footage caught on a living room camera that she posted on Facebook, the dog instantly jumped off its spot on the couch as the boom erupted.

Further south, in Cumberland, Rhode Island, the outdoor video camera on Dave Mulcahey's home shot a much fainter popping noise, per a video he shared on X.
