BRIER, Wash. – An apparent exploding meteor made for an incredible sight… and sound across parts of the Puget Sound region Wednesday evening.
Several reports into the American Meteor Society indicated a brilliant white and colorful object streaked across the skies around 7 p.m. or so, culminating in a flash and then after a few minutes' delay, a massive explosion.
"Huge boom that shook the house," reported one witness in Brier. "It was the loudest boom I've ever heard."
A video from Scott Story with Bioluminous.com shows the streak as seen from a home surveillance camera, followed by the explosion about three minutes later:
