On the morning of October 10, residents of the US state of New Hampshire heard and felt a powerful explosion that shook the earth. Neither locals nor experts know what happened. But there are two main theories.

Some experts believe it was caused by an earthquake, others by a meteor explosion

According to The New York Times, on Sunday morning in the state of New Hampshire, USA, there was a strong sound that shook the earth. Experts at the U.S. Geological Survey's National Earthquake Information Center said they don't know what caused the concussion. At the same time, there is no evidence that an earthquake occurred in the region.

In New Hampshire, earthquakes do occur sometimes. The last one recorded occurred in August of this year with a magnitude of 1.7 points. According to geophysicist Don Blakeman, the fact that the Geological Survey did not record an earthquake does not mean that it did not happen.

At the same time, some experts believe that the explosion could have been caused not by an earthquake, but by a meteor. Satellite images indicate its presence. A meteor could fly over New Hampshire and explode, causing a powerful noise that shook the state's land.

"There was a small flash just at the time when people started calling and reporting the sound," said National Weather Service meteorologist Greg Cornwell.

However, none of the hypotheses has yet been fully confirmed.
