美国国家气象局周二表示，克利夫兰上空传来的巨大声响很可能是”陨石造成的结果”。
据哥伦比亚广播公司附属电视台WOIO报道，一些居民最初担心这声音是爆炸。有人告诉该电视台，爆炸声震得他们的整个房子都在摇晃。WOIO称，远至纽约和宾夕法尼亚州都能听到这一声音。
匹兹堡的美国气象局办公室分享了一段陨石划过天空的视频。该办公室表示，这段视频是由一名员工拍摄的。
WOIO气象学家杰夫·坦查克（Jeff Tanchak）称，陨石突破音障时产生了爆炸声，但目前尚不清楚该物体何时进入大气层。
关于这颗陨石的更多细节尚未立即公布。美国陨石学会尚未就此次目击事件发表评论。
美国气象局表示，一种名为地球静止闪电测绘仪的仪器表明是陨石造成了这一声音。根据美国国家海洋和大气管理局（NOAA）的说法，该仪器可检测大气中的快速闪光，通常用于持续绘制雷击图。它还能识别陨石，因为陨石的明亮闪光与闪电相似。
美国气象局分享了该仪器检测到克利夫兰上空出现绿色闪光的照片。
近几周俄亥俄州天空中还观测到其他陨石。据哥伦比亚广播公司附属电视台WNBS报道，2月中旬晚上11:30左右，一个门廊监控摄像头捕捉到了一颗陨石。当地媒体报道，3月15日也有另一颗火球被摄像机拍下。

Meteor identified as likely cause of boom heard across Cleveland today

A loud boom heard over Cleveland was likely “a result of a meteor,” the National Weather Service said Tuesday.
Some residents immediately feared the sound was an explosion, according to CBS affiliate WOIO. One person told the station that the boom shook their whole house. The sound was heard as far as New York and Pennsylvania, WOIO said.
The NWS office in Pittsburgh shared a video of the meteor arcing across the sky. The office said the video was taken by an employee.
WOIO meteorologist Jeff Tanchak said the boom occurred when the meteor broke the sound barrier, but he said it’s not clear when the object entered the atmosphere.
More details about the meteor were not immediately available. The American Meteor Society has not commented on the sighting yet.
The NWS said an instrument called a geostationary lightning mapper indicated a meteor caused the sound. It detects quick flashes in the atmosphere and is usually used to continuously map lightning strikes, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. It can also identify meteors, which are bright and flash similarly to lightning.
The NWS shared a photo of the instrument detecting a green flash over Cleveland.
Other meteors have been seen in Ohio’s skies in recent weeks. In mid-Februray, one was spotted on a doorbell camera around 11:30 p.m., according to CBS affiliate WNBS. Another fireball was caught on camera on March 15, local media reported.
