"
It has been confirmed with air traffic control that there are no incidents of aircraftin difficult and nothing registered on radar," she said. "
The sightings are believed to be either an asteroid burning out or similar which has been restricted to the upper atmosphere only."

DENVER (CBS4) – Several people witnessed a large fireball traveling high in the sky over Colorado early Thursday evening. It left a smoke trail that lasted for several minutes according to reports.
A CBS4 viewer in Morrison emailed and said, “I just saw a meteor fall over the western side of town. I was looking west. It left a contrail and was big. ”
The following video was submitted to our partners at KKTV in Colorado Springs. You can see the fireball just to the left of the traffic light.
Cloudbait Observatory says the fireball occurred at 6:13 pm and was widely seen in Colorado, especially along the Front Range. It was also witnessed by people in Utah, New Mexico and Wyoming according to the American Meteor Society.
Preliminary analysis from the Cloudbait Observatory indicates the fireball was likely overhead in the area around Ridgway and Ouray, Colorado. Scientists are still working to determine more information about the path of travel where it may have landed.

FRANKLIN COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) -- A 'fireball' meteor lit up the Virginia sky shortly before sunrise on Wednesday.
A video posted by Twitter user 'Midlo Snow Maker' shows the meteor streaking across the sky at Smith Mountain Lake in Penhook, Virginia.
8News received several other calls from viewers who witnessed the 'fireball,' which the American Meteor Society (AMS) describes as "a meteor brighter than the planet Venus."
AMS said on their website that they received over 190 reports about the fireball, which occurred around 6:35 a.m., and was seen from New York State to North Carolina.
According to AMS, the fireball ended its flight somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean, northeast of Norfolk, Virginia.

The AMS has received over 450 reports so far about of a bright fireball seen above the East Coast area on January 9th, 2019 around 6:34am EST (11:34 Universal Time). The event was seen from Connecticut to South Carolina.
The preliminary 3D trajectory computed based on all the reports submitted to the AMS shows that the fireball was traveling from North-East to South-West and ended its flight somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean North East of Norfolk, VA.

Based on our first analysis, it looks like the event was a fireball. A fireball is another term for a very bright meteor, generally brighter than magnitude -4, which is about the same magnitude of the planet Venus currently visible in the morning sky.
Several thousand meteors of fireball magnitude occur in the Earth’s atmosphere each day. The vast majority of these, however, occur over the oceans and uninhabited regions, and a good many are masked by daylight. Those that occur at night also stand little chance of being detected due to the relatively low numbers of persons out to notice them.
Additionally, the brighter the fireball, the more rare is the event. As a general thumb rule, there are only about 1/3 as many fireballs present for each successively brighter magnitude class, following an exponential decrease. Experienced observers can expect to see only about 1 fireball of magnitude -6 or better for every 200 hours of meteor observing, while a fireball of magnitude -4 can be expected about once every 20 hours or so.
So, if you saw this one: congrats, it’s a nice way start the year!
Cameras across Japan capture flash in night sky
FIRE IN THE SKY: Several cameras across Japan captured a flash in the night sky that astronomers believe was caused by a roughly 4-inch fragment of an asteroid or comet burning up when it hit the Earth’s atmosphere. https://abcn.ws/2FLyzTu
The first meteor shower of the new year will peak Thursday night as the Quadrantids dart through the January night sky, according to NASA.
The peak of the shower will unfold from the night of Friday, Jan. 3 into the early morning hours of Friday, Jan. 4. One of the benefits for stargazers is that the peak occurs during the new moon, allowing for a darker sky.
Those in the Northern Hemisphere could wind up seeing the most meteors.
