"People were under the impression that it was a truck, that was the overwhelming interpretation. Then a few people thought it was thunder. And a couple of people thought it was an earthquake, felt some shaking," Yorktown Town Highway Superintendent Dave Paganelli told WCBS 880. "I initially thought it was thunder. We were moving around so we didn't feel any tremors or anything to that effect."

There were no reports of injuries or damage.
