A LOT OF PEOPLE ACROSS CENTRAL
INDIANA DID.
THEIR STORIES ARE LIGHTING UP
SOCIAL MEDIA.. SIMILAR TO WHAT
WE HEARD AFTER A CONFIRMED
METEOR FELL OVER MICHIGAN
EARLIER
THIS WEEK.
DREW BLAIR HAS BEEN BUSY ALL
MORNING IN THE NEWSROOM
GATHERING VIDEO OF AND DETAILS
OF WHAT PEOPLE SAY THEY SAW.
(DREW)
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SAYING THEY
SAW SOMETHING BRIGHT... AND
BLUEISH GREEN LIGHT UP THE SKY
MINUTES BEFORE MIDNIGHT.
THIS WEBSITE.. IS THE AMERICAN
METEOR SOCIETY.
IT TAKES WHAT IT CALLS FIREBALL
REPORTS...
WE WENT THROUGH THIS AND COUNTED
MORE THAN TWO DOZEN
REPORTS THAT ALL CAME IN AROUND
THE SAME TIME, MANY IN THE
MIDWEST.
TAKE A LOOK AT ONE OF THE MORE
IMPRESSIVE VIEWS CAPTURED ON
VIDEO..
THIS IS FROM ONE OF OUR VIEWERS
SOUTH OF INDIANAPOLIS IN
THE CENTER GROVE, GREENWOOD
AREA.
BRYAN BUNTON SHARED THIS VIDEO
WITH ME FROM HIS HOME SECURITY
SYSTEM.
BUNTON TELLS ME HE CHECKED HIS
MOTION DETECTION ALERTS FROM THE
SYSTEM BEFORE HEADING TO BED.
HE SPOTTED THE MYSTERY LIGHT
THEN FOUND OUT FROM THE SOCIAL
MEDIA CHATTER THAT OTHERS SAW
SOMETHING TOO.
BUNTON TELLS ME HE'S A HUGE
SPACE AND SCIENCE NERD... HIS
WORDS... AND IS DISAPPOINTED HE
DIDN'T SEE IT WITH HIS OWN EYES.
HE'S SUSPECTING IT'S A METEOR.
THE SOURCE OF THE LIGHT HAS NOT
BEEN CONFIRMED YET THIS MORNING
BY ANY GOVERNMENT AGENCY.
ONE LOCAL AGENCY IS
ACKNOWLEDGING IT THOUGH..
THIS IS A TWEET FROM THE
MORRISTOWN POLICE
DEPARTMENT IN SHELBY COUNTY.
IT SAYS:
"A BRIGHT BLUE GREEN FLASH WAS
WITNESSED BY OFFICERS IN
SHELBY, RUSH & HENRY CO AT
APPROXIMATELY 11:50 PM ON
1/17/18.
OUR OFFICER WITNESSED THE LIGHT
TO THE NE OF TOWN.
AT THIS TIME WE HAVE NOT
RECEIVING ANY REPORTS OF
POWER OUTAGES, MAY HAVE BEEN A
METEOR, AKA: SHOOTING STAR."
I'D LOVE TO SEE ANY MORE VIDEOS
THAT MIGHT BE OUT THERE.
YOU CAN SEND WHAT YOU HAVE
THROUGH THE WISH-TV MOBILE
APP OR CONTACT ME ON FACEBOOK OR
TWITTER.
