EXCERT: It was a boom that shook the burbs just after midnight Saturday. Cops in Tuckahoe heard it, and so did the police chief's son.

"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.

1. Don't dis it -- it's the only boom we're likely to experience for quite a while to come.
