Possible meteorite flies over Kodiak
 
Associated Press - September 26, 2007 2:24 PM ET

KODIAK, Alaska (AP) - Alaska State Troopers are
looking into reports of something -- possibly a
meteorite -- seen over Kodiak this week.

Whatever it was people saw yesterday (Tuesday)
morning, it doesn't appear to have been was an
airplane. No emergency beacon went off and no debris
has been found.

Jennifer Horning, who lives at a ranch on Anton Larson
Bay Road, saw the event while driving her son into
school at about 6:45 a.m. She says the light was near
the Coast Guard's ski chalet.

Horning says it got so bright, her son thought a
helicopter was shining a light on them.

There were reports that meteorites were seen over
Chiniak around that time.

The Coast Guard says an HH-60 Jayhawk helicopter from
Air Station Kodiak made both low- and high-level
sweeps of the area and found no scarring on the land,
impact crater or fire.
