Other callers also reported seeing a meteor streak across the sky, but it's unclear if it made it to the ground because no impact site has been located. Officials stressed they have not found any site confirming the meteor struck the ground. Officials searched the area by air Wednesday afternoon and found no smoke, fire, explosions or damaged property related to a meteor.
