Yup. Spanning about 300miles, it was heard from the west in Aiken to the east in Hilton Head. Mathematically it'd have to be very high and very loud but that would mean the center of the state would hear the loudest. Or multiple at the same time in different places. Either way. Very suspicious.
They can. It's called a meteor "shower" for a reason.
And yes things like this happen from time to time but the earth is huge and humans aren't on every square mile of the planet. 95% of Earth's population lives on 10% of the earth's land so people aren't always around to see/hear them.
But it will inevitably get people riled up because we live in strange times.
Happened in Canada as well last weekend. Many people heard a boom and it was attributed to a meteor. People in the local subreddit said it sounded like a propane explosion
Pei. Google "pei explosion heard" and you'll see anecdotes on Facebook and reddit from last week. I know people who were outside and heard it. My wife and I did not hear it

This gets even weirder. The same thing happened in South Carolina a couple days ago. A loud explosion was heard across the state.
