Wauconda, WA

Sighted on Tuesday 29. September 1998

Shape: Fireball | Duration: 2 seconds
Source:

green fireball falling in NE direction. Smell of ozone shortly after.I was standing outside at approx. 7:25 pm when I saw a bright green fireball silently fall behind some trees to the NNE. It appeared to go down somewhere between my location and the town of Curlew, WA. I am just south and slightly east of Bodi Mt.. (17 miles south of Canadian Border) A few minutes passed and a light breeze came up from the N. and I smelled a *very* strong smell like just before a rain storm. I think this is the smell of ozone. This may or may not be associated with the phenomena. There was only a faint wisp of cloud cover and the 1/2 moon was nearly at appex. The fireball reminded me of a flare but there was no sound or scent of explosives. By about 8pm there was considerable airtraffic in the area. Again this may not be associated with the fireball either but just something I noted. This is the thrid fireball I've seen since mid summer. One of the others was also green and in the northern sky and the other was reddish abd in the southern sky. I don't remember dates. I wrote them off as unusual meteors until I heard of the reports on the Art Bell.
