At around 9:45pm est on Sunday night, March 29th, a sonic blast was heard, followed by a huge flash of blue, from northeast North Carolina, to Virginia Beach, to Maryland. The blast, which shook homes, including the WCN studio last night, rattled nerves, as you may expect. All evidence is pointing at this time to a meteorite that burned in the earths atmosphere.

The "Big Bang" on Sunday night now appears to have been caused by a meteor, not a leftover bit of Russian rocket.
The Joint Space Operations Centre at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California issued a statement Tuesday morning saying it tracks more than 19,000 manmade objects in space.

"The 'bright light' that was reported on the East Coast on Sunday, 29 March at 9:45 p.m. EST was not a result of any trackable manmade object on reentry"
