What Was That?
By MIKE GRAHAM | wpix.com

March 17, 2009

STATEN ISLAND (WPIX) -- Staten Island residents had themselves saying "what
was that loud boom" last night. Whatever the noise was, it was heard in at
least six neighborhoods and rattled nerves and windows at about 7:55p.m.
Monday.

Calls to 911 came flooding in and police and firefighters responded but
could not solve the mystery of the explosion-like blast. Con Edison said
there were no reports of transformer explosions or outages despite the fact
that the noise could be heard for miles. Police believe it is possible that
fireworks could be to blame.

Strange doings indeed in the metropolitan area as last week Westchester and
Rockland county residents reported seeing a bright yellow streak in the
skies north of the city. Some theorize that may have been a meteorite
fireball.

 Staten Island residents report loud boomMarch 17, 2009

NEW YORK - Staten Island residents are trying to figure out what caused a
loud boom that was heard in at least six neighborhoods.

The explosion-like blast rattled windows of homes at about 7:55 p.m. Monday.
It could be heard for miles.

Police and firefighters responded to numerous calls to 911, but the loud
noise remained a mystery on Tuesday.

Police say they found no explosion anywhere in the borough and Con Edison
reported no outages or transformer explosions.

Police speculated it was caused by fireworks.

Last week, witnesses reported big booms of a different sort. A brilliant
yellow streak was seen in the skies north of the city, in Westchester and
Rockland counties. Some residents believed it was a meteorite fireball.
