The source of a loud bang followed by shaking in northeast B.C., that caused confusion for residents, was likely a meteor shooting through the sky, says a B.C. Shaking was felt in Charlie Lake and a loud noise was heard by some residents of Fort St. John. 'Sonic boom'Brad Pippolo was in his home between Charlie Lake and Fort St. John when he heard the noise. It sounded like an explosion to me, and a few, maybe two or three seconds later, she heard it in Fort St. "A couple hours later, Fort St. John social media blew up with noises and explosions and I thought, 'Oh, that's probably what it was.'"
