Bates County Sheriffs Office Press Release: Meteor

 
On 12/26/13 the Bates County Sheriffs Office recieved a call from a citizen reporting what they believed to be a plane crashing in the area of T Hwy and 18Hwy.  Law Enforcement and Adrian Fire personnel were dispatched to the area.  Dispatch contacted the FAA and was advised that they did not have any missing planes at the time.  As emergency personnel continued to search for signs of a wreckage, dispatch recieved a follow up call from the FAA stating that there had been similiar reports across the state from St. Louis to Bates County.  They advised that they believed the item was a meteor.  Local witnesses described the object as traveling toward the ground with a blue or green flame streaking behind the object.  The search for a potential wreckage was called off after approximately one hour.
