Fireball not man-made, experts say
Defense experts Tuesday eliminated "space junk or any man-made object" as an
explanation for a mysterious meteoric fireball that streaked across the
Pacific Coast.
The object, sighted at 8:22 p.m. (CST) Monday, dazzled stargazers from the
California-Oregon border to the Los Angeles area.
"It looked like a long, green meteor but it lasted way too long, arcing
across the sky toward the ocean, then it just blew up," Roy Jackson of
Mountain View, Cal., said.
"It wasn't space junk or any man-made object re-entering the atmosphere, and
we don't track meteors," Del Kindschi of the North American Aerospace Defense
Command at Denver said. "We heard about it but there weren't any satellites
or man-made space objects entering the atmosphere at that time." (UPI)
