Very interesting, good catch. A prelude of inversion of the magnetic axis of earth?

I'm not sure what to make of it. A European Space Agency satellite first studied the phenomenon in 2001, hence all the detailed graphics. It speaks of an influx of powerful energy, albeit temporarily, which then "disappears" in a few minutes. Hole in the ionosphere sounds like "opening up" to me. So yeah, might be related to an incursion of the magnetic axis and changes in the magnetic field. We'll just have to wait and see.

Good catch! When we heard a couple of such loud booms locally on separate days, I thought... Surely this is not a localized phenomenon. There's got to be people in the rest of the world hearing booms as well.

Locally, a third loud boom was heard last weekend, and they quickly published a story in the mainstream newspaper. 'It was the police doing "air" experiments against terrorism, and to expect more of such loud booms and we're sorry for the inconvenience.'

Not reassuring.

I just saw this post from the EarthSky FB page about this overhead explosion today.

KABOOM! Did you hear it? Around 9 a.m. EDT this morning, residents of Ohio and Pennsylvania began flooding the 911 line with reports of an “earthquake like” explosion.
The National Weather Service out of Pittsburgh was quick to say: “We’re receiving reports across western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio of a loud boom and a fireball in the sky. Our satellite data suggest it was possibly a meteor entering the atmosphere.”
And the National Weather Service out of Cleveland followed up with data confirming the #meteor. Looking at satellite imagery from the Geostationary Lightning Mapper, you can see a bright streak over the Cleveland area that would be consistent with a meteor entering the atmosphere. And many people caught the fireball on video.
