The observatory director at Saint Mary's University says its highly doubtful people on the South Shore seen a meteor or fireball over the weekend. Phone calls to our newsroom and messages on facebook from residents in Lunenburg, Queens and Shelburne Counties suggest people may have seen something in the sky Saturday night. David Lane says he hasn't heard any buzz about any potential sightings.
"I haven't had any reports at all here at the observatory, so, that tends to make me believe it was something local, rather than something, you know, far up above the Earth, such as a meteor."Lane says the 'Draconid Meteor Shower' happened over the weekend but wouldn't be noticeable to the untrained eye. He says although the description sounds like a fireball, he believes it wasn't of astronomical nature.
