What was Loud Explosion New Years day over Western Pa.

 I was laying on the couch enjoying a cowboy Movie on New Years day when approx 11:30 AM I heard and felt what sounded like a terrific clap of thunder .

But I was not alone from Washington to Beaver to Armstrong County it was heard and felt 

At First it was thought to be an Earthquake however seismic equipment picked up no quake.

Now it is believed to be a meteor  since a large flash was recorded over Washington County at that time 

But they still do not know for sure .

 Report US National Weather Service -Pittsburgh

We have been getting a lot of questions about a loud explosion that was heard over southwest Pennsylvania earlier today. Data from GOES-16 may provide a clue.

This image is a product of the satellite's Geostationary Lightning Mapper function, showing Total Optical Energy (basically, a measure of flash intensity). You can see the flash showing up here in the area of western Washington County, PA at 16:22Z (11:22 EST). This flash does not appear to be connected to any lightning activity in the area. One possible explanation is that a meteor exploded at some level above the ground. We do not have any confirmation of this at this time, but it seems to be the most likely explanation.

 Then there this from USGS web site

If it was a meteor it is very rare they explode over this are one of the last was recorded in  June 24, 1938

There was also a loud explosion about 1 Pm on December 31 as well.

UFO Expert Stan Gordon  says he has been getting reports from all over about loud explosions the past 3 months and I can confirm this with many people posting about loud noises  on socail media.

So what is it? Meteors , Explosive  Gas from old coal mines blowing off  and possibly Collapsing 

Underground explosions being set off by secret government project tunneling under Western Pa. according to some conspiracy theorists .

Or as some have conjectured the coming of Revelations with all the weird  noises, Big Foot Sightings and UFO and weird things seen in the sky.

Whatever is going on lets hope it is for good and not evil intent.
