Meteor flashes across the sky | Environment

Residents in western Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma saw something shooting across the night's sky over their area.

Authorities say they've received numerous reports of what appears to be a meteor that passed over the area, although they are not sure where it might have landed.

Witnesses described the light as a greenish-blue light that flashed like lightning from the southeast to the northwest.

Experts say the object was likely a meteor that contained copper and probably was not larger than a pebble.
