(AP) -- Authorities grounded firefighting aircraft battling an out-of-control blaze scorching central Colorado on Wednesday, reacting with caution to witness reports of meteor sightings.

The temporary move came amid several reported sky sightings near the fire burning 1,100 acres, or nearly 2 square miles, west of Colorado Springs.

Chaffee County Sheriff W. Peter Palmer said his office received multiple reports, including one person who thought a meteorite might have landed in a wooded area north of Buena Vista. Palmer said officials could not confirm that report.

Meanwhile, the crew of a heavy air tanker spotted something while making a slurry run on the blaze, said Steve Segin, a spokesman for the U.S. Forest Service.

"They weren't sure what it was," Segin said, confirming the report of a possible meteor shower.

This is a bullshit excuse to ground the slurry wagons... if people believe this crap then they will believe anything...

Meteor showers are not a local phenomenon... they affect the entire planet... why ground aircraft carrying slurry and not those carrying passengers, sheesh... These cork-sacking bastards grounded the planes in hopes that the fire will go out of control... and use it as an excuse... they are just checking to see how stupid the poisoned food and water and the drugs and brainwashing box have made people...

The truth is they need a good disaster like the Haymen fire 10 years ago during solar maximum when everything was dry up here like it is now, at almost maximum again... so they can have a reason to call in FEMA and the department of "Fatherless-land" security, and steal more of our rights...

fu*king Nazis... I hate these bastards... It will be solar maximum next year you impatient sons-of-bitches, and there will be more wind as maximum peaks... getting scared ain'tcha, you creepy little turds.

And now, Manitou Springs is burning... 5 miles as the crow flies north of NORAD.
