Mysterious object brightens night sky
By the Star-Tribune staff Monday, December 11, 2006
Deputies with the Natrona County Sheriff's Department responded to
numerous calls of a large fireball streaming through the night sky
early Friday morning, but were unable to find any trace of the object.
According to the sheriff's office, several county residents in the
Muddy Mountain and Bates Creek areas on Casper Mountain called to
report a large, flaming object traveling eastward at a high rate of
speed at approximately 6:50 a.m.
"It probably passed right over us on its way to somewhere else," Sgt.
Mark Sellers said.
Sellers said a caller described it as an aircraft on fire, but the
airport had no reports of aircraft in the area and no emergency beacons
sounded. Others thought it was a meteorite or a UFO.
Sheriff's deputies searched the mountain but couldn't find any evidence
of the object's impact.
