Beltrami County emergency manager says no damage reported from Bemidji meteor

FARGO (KFGO) – A second video has surfaced in the investigation into a bright streak across the sky in Bemidji, Minnesota last night that also created a sonic boom.   

Beltrami County emergency manager Chris Muller says the new video, from 7:41 p.m., is from the municipal airport. 

“The camera that they have is pointed toward the city of Bemidji, particularly, the north side of the city, said Muller. “And in this surveillance video, they were able to pick up an object that goes streaking across the sky at a very high rate. That coincides with the previous video we were provided that shows the bright flash and loud explosion sound.”
Muller says there’s no indication other than that the object was a meteor.  

There were no reports of damage.   

Law enforcement conducted extensive searches, including electric substations and power transformers and found nothing unusual.   

He said he considers the investigation closed unless additional information is uncovered.
