| Very fast moving fireball! At 23:10 PM,04/20/04,I was getting out of my Peterbuilt truck at are yard in N.W. Tumwater, Wa.and an orange/reddish/yellow fireball was going across the night sky at a very high rate of speed.It was traveling from the N.E. to the S.W. in a straight line as it passed overhead. It was raining lightly and partly cloudy and the cloud cover was about 2,000 feet, and the fireball was about 800 feet. I was surrounded by tall buildings (warehouses) and couldn't watch it at all as it sped away,toward the Capitol Forest.There was also a search light (white light beam) in an area about 5 miles north of my location at the South Sound Shopping Mall in Olympia, Wa, that was also working at the time. I was in a dark area with no lights and the fireball was really clear to me! |
