A resident living in East Concord, New York says they heard a series of quiet booming sounds coming from above March 19. The "booming" sounds were soon followed by a streaking lightish green colored ball of light, according to a report filed to the American Meteor Society. 

The witness' account said that they found it very strange that they "heard the noise" before seeing the light. The resident says that "the light seemed to be about the size of a small pea held at arms length on the tip of a finger".
