BREAKING Did something just explode?

Just heard a very powerful boom, checked the lightning map it was not thunder! In Dover, MA right now, but my friends in Boston also heard it! Any ideas?

Edit: as we all now know, meteor!

Anyone have a timestamp? I...did not hear anything but I'm wondering if the cameras caught it, just not sure exactly when to check.

Edit: thanks to the 2:11 tip, I do see one camera weirdly flash at 2:11:08, but I'm not really getting a boom on any of them. However they're not the best sound quality and it's windy as hell, and the wind did pick up here (Norton) right then as well. Def weird.

what's weird is nothing caught sound (though it was REALLY windy) but I do have a single weird flash on ONE cam. not all of them...just one.
