BOISE - A meteor was seen across a wide area of the Pacific Northwest early Tuesday - including in Seattle, Boise, Portland and Spokane.

An FAA spokesman in Seattle, Mike Fergus, says a Horizon Airlines pilot saw the meteorite hit earth about 6:45 a.m. Fergus says the pilot reported a flash and a burst of light near Washington State Route 26 and the Lind-Hatton Road in the southeast corner of Adams County, WA.

Officials in Adams County sent a police unit to the location described by the Horizon pilot, but have not found anything. A dispatcher tells NewsChannel 7 that they have not had any reports of falling debris.

Ada County dispatch was flooded with calls - reporting the bright flash. Callers thought the meteor was anything from lightning, to a plane crash to a fire. Dispatchers got 30 calls in 25 minutes.

NewsChannel 7 also received dozens of calls about the meteor from across our viewing area.

“I saw it from Hailey,” Robb Thomas wrote. “It was in several pieces kind of stuck together. It had a flat front on it and when it went behind the mountains it seemed to impact and make two large flashes and several smaller ones.”

"It started out like a falling star, but brighter," Jerilyn Sterkel said. "It was greenish, then turned yellowish, then white, then finally red when it got to where it looked almost like it was going to hit in the field next to where I was driving, on Meridian Road close to Amity. It was almost like a firework shot from the sky."

"I was on my way to work, riding my bike, when I saw a flash at about 6:30 am," Katy Griswold said. "The flash turned into a green ball with flames behind it as it descended to the ground. It looked like it was only a few blocks away, and I actually thought it was someone's high school science experiment or a strange flare. It also seemed to take about 30 to 45 seconds to hit the ground."

A television station in Spokane also got viewer calls from much of Eastern Washington and North Idaho about the meteor.

Various callers to the station say it resembled summer lighting, a rocket, a satellite or an exploding transformer.
