Mysterious Object Falls From Minnesota Sky
Reports of metallic object and flaming ball falling from sky

MINNEAPOLIS -- Shortly after 2:00 p.m. Wednesday, people around the Twin Cities metro reported seeing a “metallic” or “flaming ball” falling from the sky. Emergency dispatchers around the metro reported calls from around the metro of people seeing the object. Calls came in from Edina, Maple Grove, Inver Grove Heights and Brooklyn Park.

At 3:15 p.m. the FAA had no reports of anything falling from any airplanes in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. The debris that fell on Interstate 94 on Wednesday was an unrelated incident.

Initial speculation is that it was a meteorite which may have burned up in the atmosphere, as no crash site has been identified.

Workers at business off Highway 100 and 70th Street said the object was visible from a first floor conference room with a westward facing window.
