On most Saturday afternoons, I like to be out of the house.
Today, however, was quite windy, rainy and unseasonably cold. So, I stayed indoors.
Then came a boom which shook the windows of my room.
I must admit I thought the wind had knocked something to the ground somewhere in my general vicinity.
As it turns out, I was among possibly millions of people who heard the same sound which could be heard as far north as Montreal and as far south as Delaware.
According to the American Meteor Society, a three-foot-long meteor entered the Earth's atmosphere somewhere along the Massachusetts-New Hampshire border and most likely landed in the Atlantic. There have been no reports of any damage caused. In my neck of the woods, there were branches strewn on the ground, but this was most likely due to the aforementioned heavy winds.
I'm sure someone somewhere will try to make something more out of this than it is.
As Sigmund Freud said, "Sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar."
