LOS ANGELES -- Four separate meteor showers were visible over parts of
northern and central California with reports of white, blue and red
streaks in the sky, authorities said.

The meteor showers occurred at around 10 p.m. Wednesday, said Greg Renick,
a spokesman for the state Office of Emergency Services.

Renick said the odd-colored streaks were visible from "several counties" -
as far north as Calaveras and Santa Barbara in the south. He said he didn't
know why there would be red streaks in a meteor shower.

A spokesman said the Federal Emergency Management Agency had no information
about Wednesday's sightings but said meteor showers were expected over the
next several days.
