"Some likened it to when a transformer blows, but a lot of callers actually reported their house shook from the explosion," says Tuckahoe Police Chief John Costanzo.
People in a half-dozen southern Westchester communities reported hearing the boom. About the same time, a woman in Mount Kisco reported seeing a yellow light streaking across the southern sky.
To Darryl Pitt, that can only mean a meteor, which means somewhere on the ground there's a meteorite – the actual stone or metal that came from a fallen meteoroid.
