SPOKANE, Wash.- KHQ is following reports of a falling star... or something. Right now the FAA is confirming that it was a meteor shooting across the sky. It happened at 5:30 a.m. Tuesday morning.
KHQ is getting conflicting reports about what exactly it was that fell or shot across the sky.
Viewers have been calling in since around 5:35 a.m. Tuesday morning to report a light in the sky. Viewers from as far away as Clarkston, Lewiston, Suncrest, Republic, Hayden, Troy and Cheney.
One viewer called in and said she saw it land from a field behind the Super 8 in Airway Heights. KHQ is aggressively following this story and will bring you the latest information as we get it.
Viewers have said that it looked like summer lightening, a meteor, a rocket, a satellite, or just an exploding transformer. In Walla Walla, one viewer says that she felt a sonic boom. About five minutes after the light, she felt a shockwave going through the house.

Here is my 2 cents: I was standing on my front steps having a smoke, (facing north) when the light flashed, (south of me). I thought it was either lightning, or a powerline transformer box blowing up. But there was no noise. And transformers look greenish. The light didn't seem greenish.
