A lot of people are still wondering what the fireball was that lit up =
the
skies of eastern Colorado and western Nebraska Thursday night.
Witnesses say it was a blue flash of light that dropped below the =
horizon
around 9:30 p.m. The crew of a medical helicopter that was airborne =
when the
object streaked across the sky, said it was so bright, it lit up the =
inside
of the cockpit. They were flying to Scottsbluff after transporting a =
patient
to Denver.
The helicopter crew spotted the fireball while flying about 30 miles =
east of
Greeley, Colorado. The light came from the east, around the
Nebraska-Colorado border.
Drivers traveling along Interstate 80 between Kimball and Sidney, =
Nebraska
at first reported seeing a blue flash of light drop to the horizon. =
Similar
reports were made near Chadron and in the Denver area.
Meteorologist Mike Nelson says the light was probably a meteor that =
burned
up in the atmosphere.
A number of viewers called and e-mailed 9NEWS Thursday night curious =
about
the light. Viewers said the light was in the northeast part of the sky =
and
very low to the ground. The station received calls from viewers living =
as
far apart as Flagler and Glenwood Springs
Motorist J-L Schmidt says the ball of light appeared to have dropped =
near
the Sidney airport, but the Cheyenne County Sheriff's Department is
reporting no evidence of a meteorite or anything else in the area.=20
