A meteor apparently streaked over the Pacific Northwest early Tuesday triggering numerous calls from several people who reported bright lights and sonic booms in parts of Washington, Oregon and Idaho.

Someone even reported he had seen the meteor go down on Earth in an isolated part of Adams County, in southeast Washington. However, the authorities did not found the alleged meteor.

"I'm convinced it was a meteor. It was a classic description of a fireball," said Geoff Chester, spokesman for the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C.

He also speculated about the size of the meteor and its journey to the planet Earth. According to Chester, the meteor was the size of a big suitcase and, before crashing on Earth, orbited the sun for millions of years.

The alleged meteor was also reported by the Federal Aviation Administration. A private pilot reported he has seen the meteor’s impact with Earth’s surface. The impact took place near State Route 26 and the Lind-Hatton Road about 5:45 a.m. and was followed by a burst of light.

There were several other pilots who reported seeing the landing meteorite through the sky from Boise, Idaho, into Washington state, the FAA said.

The Adams County is located about 175 miles east-southeast of Seattle and 90 miles southwest of Spokane. However, the County sheriff hasn’t reported any damage or injury as a consequence of the falling meteor.

Chester said that most meteorites that hit out planet’s surface are never found.  

"When you see objects like this in the sky your sense of scale is distorted," he said. "It's a common optical illusion."

The burst of light along with the flash of the impact were reportedly recorded by some surveillance cameras in the region.
