Bright Meteor Streaks over Colorado at Dawn
Reporter: AP
Some thought the sky was falling. Others thought it was a U-F-O. But it was actually a bright meteor that streaked across the Colorado sky early today, prompting a rash of calls to authorities and researchers.
No debris has been reported, but callers were concerned more about what was in the air than on the ground.
The meteor was spotted about 6:45 a.m., and was bright enough to be categorized as a fireball.
Denver Museum of Nature and Science meteor researcher Chris Peterson says the object came in from the east, crossed over the plains, and was seen to disappear over the mountains to the west.
Meteors are common over Colorado, but this one was unusual because it was bright enough to be seen as the sun was rising.
Peterson says any debris from the meteor would be hard to find, because it would likely be just a pile of rocks that fell somewhere near a bunch of other rocks.

2000 people claiming the same thing?? A lot of stuff seems to be going on nowadays. They had a metorite rock hit a house in NJ the other day. If 2000 people called reporting that- most likely it is a metorite...but lets all rememebr ...the government is going to do what they do best...LIE and keep lying and eventually it was a cloud in the sky they really saw.

Yes, I did hear about that, but I didn't get all the details about it.
Did you hear about women fainting on NY trains, and that's why trains are so delayed all the time? I don't agree with that at all, but since I don't live in NY anymore, I don't really know.

Weather phenomenon. Probably ball lightning (look it up). There has been a lot of screwy weather out there - extreme conditions can cause such things.
