Now, even better videos here!
It was a rather eventful paper route this morning in the Mid-Columbia. And we're not talking some run-in with a skunk or some found crushed cell phone, or some dog looking for a little tibia chew for breakfast! Denise and Nate were near the end of their routes this morning when they saw a flash in the sky! "I pulled up this house on my bike, as I'm walking up to the porch and all of a sudden in the middle of the sky this firework looking thing looked like if fell from the sky. It looked like a fireball from Super Mario with a flame trailing behind it." Turns out the "fireball" was seen from Missoula to B.C. to Portland! Scientists think it probably came down within 30 miles of our home. It was either a meteor (meaning it got all burned up before it hit the ground) or a meteorite (which actually hit the ground somewhere). Denise said the bright flash at the end of the flight was followed by a big boom a few minutes later! A little early morning excitement that ended up being the topic of conversation for most people looking to make a little chit-chat today!

Are you sure it wasn't remaining bits from that old satellite they shot down? So is there an upcoming posting or report on Nate's Klondike Kampout?
