VALDOSTA - Authorities sought the cause of a wildfire Thursday after witnesses said something fell out of the sky before the blaze burned several acres of dense woods. <br>

Checks with Valdosta Regional Airport, and Moody, Eglin and Tyndall Air Force Bases revealed no missing aircraft, Lowndes County Fire/Rescue Chief Jim Fielding said. <br>

Firefighters combed the area on four-wheelers, but found no debris or other evidence of a downed plane. Helicopters from Moody circled the fire for more than half an hour. <br>

The fire, which continued to burn within fire breaks late Thursday, was the second wildfire in two days in Lowndes County. On Wednesday, a lit cigarette was blamed for igniting a 25-acre fire.
