Meteor explosion near Pittsburg?
Pittsburg Post Gazette: A loud boom that shook the South Hills and other parts of the region on Saturday morning — described by residents across Allegheny County as strong enough to rattle their houses — might have been a “meteor explosion,” the National Weather Service’s Pittsburgh office said.
