Possible meteorite brings calls to 911 center

Cumberland Times-News


CUMBERLAND — Numerous 911 calls in Allegany and Mineral counties at 
4:22 a.m., Tuesday apparently stemmed from a “meteorite passing through 
the area,” according to Roger Bennett, acting director of Allegany 
County ‘s 911 center.

“We checked camera footage from schools at Mount Savage, Westmar, 
Oldtown, Westernport and other locations that showed a flash of light 
that brightened the whole sky,” said Bennett, who reviewed the video 
footage. He said no objects were visible in any of the videos.

  The Allegany County 911 center received about a dozen calls inquiring 
about the sound of an explosion. Calls were were also reportedly made 
to the Mineral County 911 center from the Keyser area. However, 
apparently no calls were made at that time to emergency centers in 
Garrett, Washington, Bedford and Fayette counties among other locations.

  A check of various agencies including the Federal Aviation 
Administration, Maryland Emergency Management Administration and the 
Maryland Institute of Emergency Medical Systems Services Statewide 
Communications Systems produced no information relative to the local 
911 calls, according to Bennett.

  Bennett also said some unofficial information about the possible 
meteorite sighting was posted on some websites.
