PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — About
135 people reported seeing a bright fireball in the Oregon sky shortly before midnight Friday night.
Jim Todd with OMSI told KOIN 6 News it’s
“hard to say if it was a spacecraft debris or not.” But the reports of the fireball came from Port Angeles, Washington south to Medford, with most of them in the Willamette Valley and the Oregon coast.
The Fireball Event Log documented who reported the streak and where they were.
