Original headline: North La. Residents See Mysterious Light in the Sky
(Shreveport-AP) -- More than a dozen people reported seeing a bright light in the sky last night and bombarded the National Weather Service in Shreveport with calls.
Meteorologist Mike Berry, who said he fielded about 20 calls from people asking about the mysterious light, said meteorologists were watching radar focusing on storms in northern Texas around the time of the incident and did not see anything out of the ordinary.
Monroe-based astronomer Stephen Bailey says the running theories right now are meteors or space debris.
The Ouachita Parish Sheriff's Office reported around five calls and forwarded them to the weather office.
Meteorologists in Shreveport concluded the object would have been pretty high in the atmosphere, judging from the location of callers.
