Hundreds of residents across southern B.C. witnessed a fiery celestial display just before six this morning as a meteor streaked across the dawn sky.
Kamloops resident Gerald Haggerty says he was driving early this morning when the fireball lit up the horizon like a bomb.
U.S. Federal Aviation Authority spokesman Mike Fergus says a pilot reported seeing the meteor hit the ground and an impact area has been located 280 kilometres southeast of Seattle, but remnants of the space rock have not been found.
The fiery event was seen all the way from Boise, Idaho, through Washington State and into B.C. as far north as Kamloops.
