A few weeks ago, strange blue lights filled the skies over Carolina and the sightings caused a frenzy of calls and reports to local authorities.  There was no official explanation but at the time one report claimed the colour could be an indication of the composition of the meteors streaking across the sky.
Now strange lights are back.  WXII-12 is reporting that there have been strange reports about flying objects in the skies -- and some people think they're UFOs.  The online report asks - are the makings of a Sci-Fi movie happening in the Piedmont-Triad?
This time a Kernersville man said he captured an object on his cell phone.  According to the TV channel's details, strange sightings have been reported in a number of locations in recent days.

Numerous reports have come in to Skytracker7 Forecast Centre over the past 24 hours. Some with meteorite sightings, some with minor shaking in the New River Valley, and others with a sound of a distant explosion.
After sending our viewer reports to the Virginia Tech Seismology Department, Martin Chapman (Asst. Professor) indicates he did report some weak seismic activity at a seismograph in Giles County around 7:55 Wednesday night. After examining the reading, he says it does appear to be similar to that of a sonic boom, perhaps from the same meteorite that folks saw at that same time.

Emergency dispatchers around Charlotte handle wacky 911 calls each night. But Wednesday, agencies got the same type of unusual call:
A hovering light was in the sky.
Others described it as a plane that might be in trouble. A blueish glow. A fire in the sky. A light moving too slow to be a plane.

Numerous East Tennesseans reported seeing a bright green light streak through the sky Wednesday night. Police dispatchers said they got so many calls, they didn't have time to count them.
Reports on its direction of travel varied somewhat. Most accounts on its shape and color reported it being blue-green with a comet-like tail, and many callers to WBIR were surprised by the size of it.
