A large boom was heard Sunday morning around 8:00am around Northern Nevada and the Sierra. Washoe County Sheriff’s Dispatchers tell News 4 they have received calls from “everywhere” including the Reno metro area to as far away as Incline Village. The Sheriff’s Office says they are tying to find the source of the boom, but do not know what caused the boom. There have been reports of the boom being heard in the Reno-Sparks area, Carson City, Minden, South Lake Tahoe, Placerville and Truckee. A number of people in the Sierra around El Dorado County have reported they saw what they believed to be a meteor just before the sound. The El Dorado County Sheriff's Office tells News 4 they cannot confirm anything landed in their jurisdiction, but do tell us they have received a number of phone calls regarding the incident. Earth is experiencing a Lyrid meteor shower, it's peak was expected to be in the overnight hours. Some people had reported to News 4 and other media of a possible local impact. News 4 has reached-out to a number of local law enforcement agencies, state agencies and federal agencies looking for exact answers on what happened this morning. No agency has given us a definitive answer.
