KAMLOOPS — What appeared to be a possible meteorite flew through the sky over parts of B.C. and Washington State last night.

A number of calls to the newsroom here about a flash across the sky just after 10:00 PM last night.

Some Kamloops residents left messages and posted on social media that the streak came across the sky and went over Mount Paul before dropping from sight.

The object, whatever it was, left a red glow behind it. In the Kootenays, some residents there said the flash was followed by a loud noise.
