BALTIMORE, Dec. 12 (UPI) -- Maryland police dispatchers have been flooded with calls following a meteor shower, the Washington Post reported Sunday.
"It looked like a ball of fire falling out of the sky," Cpl. Cynthia Brown, a Maryland State Police dispatcher, quoted a caller as saying Saturday night.
