According to the National Weather Service, that boom was likely the result of a meteor. Video above shows Tuesday morning’s meteor caught by a National Weather Service employee Jared Rackley.The National Weather Service said the latest geostationary lightning mapper suggests just that.NASA’s website describes a geostationary lightning mapper, commonly called a GLM, as “a single-channel, near-infrared optical transient detector that can detect the momentary changes in an optical scene, indicating the presence of lightning.”GLM measurements also help officials improve their tornado and thunderstorm lead times and can give an early warning of lightning ground strike hazards. In addition to the GLM, seismographs, which are typically used to measure earthquakes, captured the boom from the meteor hitting the ground.
