Just as a matter of conincidence, there was just recently a daylight sighting of a fireball meteor observed by southern Washington (the State) and northern Oregon. Any eye-witnesses out there? I had the priveledge of seeing an extremely impressive fireball meteor about ten years ago from Everett Washington. Duration was several minutes, Flames were very obvious, and the meteor broke into four fireballs as it approached the horizon. Something my wife and I will never forget. -- _____ Kevin Bagley Global Tech.
