Meteorologist Jordan Dale says the weather service hasn't been able to confirm that it was a meteor despite reports and videos received by the agency late Tuesday. But he says "it was not thunder or lightning or weather-related."

Dale says the weather service is trying to determine what caused the light and noise, calling it "a rare occurrence."
