From The Trussville Tribune staff reports

A large “boom” was heard and felt around several counties in central Alabama Tuesday afternoon.

According to a tweet from ABC 33/40 meteorologist James Spann the boom was “felt strongly across much of Jefferson, Blount, Walker, Cullman, Talladega, Clay, Winston and St. Clair Counties.”

According to Spann as of 3 p.m. there is still no explanation for the “boom” from any government agency, but he tweeted out he was waiting to hear back from NASA and thinks it might have been caused by a meteor.
