| Name | Maya T |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | One other time I experienced seeing a bright green fireball/meteor shoot across the sky as I was driving over the mountains at night in southern Oregon. I actually screamed and ducked thinking it was going to hit the car! This event was a descending bright white light I thought at first might be a UFO! then watched it descend rapidly and disappear toward the horizon. Found your site this morning and noticed someone in Oregon City, very near to my location, spotted something at the same time. I assume it was the same fireball. |
