| Name | Patrick M |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was riding my bike down 57th ave in Portland and saw a bright flash to the southeast. I looked over and saw a huge green fireball traveling straight down from the sky. It was looked so big that I expected to hear an impact sound from close by but I didnt. It was a very unusual experience. I dont think I've ever seen a meteor within city limits, with all the light pollution, or travel straight down for that matter. |
