BHUBANESWAR: A dazzling aerial shower that lit up the evening sky and 
could have been caused by a disintegrating meteorite was witnessed in 
Orissa on Saturday, officials said.

The phenomenon, which occurred at 6.30 p.m. and lasted six seconds, was 
visible in five coastal districts and in this capital city, officials said.

It created panic in some areas but there were no immediate reports of 
casualties or damage to property, officials said.

Police officials and scientists had been sent to Kandia village, about 
60 km from here, where some debris was reported to have fallen, to 
investigate the occurrence, the officials said.
