Early risers see apparent meteor streak across Western sky

PHOENIX (AP) — Early risers in several Western states reported seeing what appeared to be a meteor streaking across the sky before dawn. The American Meteor Society received multiple reports on Wednesday from Arizona, California, Utah and New Mexico.  An observer with the organization has said the bright light appears to have been a meteor. Organization officials have said this is the best time of the month to view meteor activity since the moon will not be a factor. The phenomenon was captured on video by meteorite hunter Robert Ward in Prescott, Arizona, and posted on the organization’s website. It was also captured by a video camera mounted on Phoenix City Hall.
