List-
   Maybe we can just get a bucket and hold it out at arm's length (HA!).
   Makes the first report seem a little less reliable had they not seen the trail.

Second loud boom rattles windows in NY suburb
March 10, 2009

NANUET, N.Y. - There's been another loud "boom." This time it rattled windows in parts of Rockland County.

Nanuet resident Keith Wallenstein said the mysterious noise woke him up at about 5:15 Monday morning and sounded like someone had flown an F-16 over his house.

An earlier loud "boom" heard in Westchester County early Saturday might have been a meteorite.

Police and The Journal News got a flurry of reports from people in Scarsdale, Mount Vernon, Yonkers, Tuckahoe, Eastchester and Bronxville.

Weather officials say there was no thunder in the area at the time.

Liz Holland of Mount Kisco says she was looking out her window around 12:30 a.m. Saturday. She saw a brilliant yellow object streaking through the sky.

An official from the Rockland Astronomy Club says yellow is a typical color for a meteorite.
