HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- The WSAZ newsroom took a lot of calls Friday night about bright lights over the skies of Kentucky, now WSAZ.com has some answers.

NASA say two satellites collided Friday afternoon over Russia.

The debris began entering the atmosphere over Kentucky causing streaks of bright green light in the night sky.

Emergency dispatchers tell us the debris didn't cause any damage, but they did receive a lot of calls from concerned people.

i saw green lights (what i thought to be a meteor ) tonight driving in and around morgan county kentucky june 9th 2009. I did a google search and found this page concerning something similar. Did another pair of satellites collide or is this something else?

Well it figures, went to bed and missed the show. But then like others below I would have just figured some idiot set of fireworks, or a Huntington meth lab blew up.
