People across Oregon and southwest Washington spotted a fireball in the sky Tuesday morning.
Most reports of the fireball sighting came just after 5:30 a.m. A man who called 911 said "it lit up the whole sky" in the Milwaukie area.
FOX 12 meteorologist Drew Jackson said
the object was likely the size of a basketball. He said that the object probably broke apart before hitting land.

Comment: Amazing the flash created by a "basketball" sized meteor. Imagine the blast made by something larger. Imagine the impact of several larger meteors arriving in close succession.....
