Huge fireball sighting in Goldendale, Washington.

I was driving home from town with my two children. It was about 9pm.

To the north of town, there is a small mountain range called the Simcoe Mountains. The children and I saw a huge neon green fireball shoot across the top of the mountain range and disappear.

The light was very bright and noticeable and lasted about 3 seconds. It started out bright green, then turned a brilliant orange.

I do not know if anyone else from town saw this, but there were at this time, several places around the world on the news reporting fireballs in the sky.

NUFORC Note:

Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. One of several reports from the same witness. PD
