NICOSIA — Cypriot officials are baffled by reports that a meteor streaking across the nighttime sky may have exploded overhead with a thunderous bang that some said made the ground shake.
Police said eyewitnesses reported seeing a blue glow emanating from the object that raced over the east Mediterranean island’s Troodos mountain range shortly before midnight Sept. 8.
Cyprus Geological Department official Iordanis Demetriades told The Associated Press Sept. 9 that there’s no indication the object struck the ground and that it probably “exploded in the sky.”

Authorities are looking for possible remnants of the object.
