Mystery object lights up Northwest sky
FOX 12 OREGON ^ | 03.12.05 | NA

PORTLAND - A flaming object was spotted streaking through the Saturday night sky across Western Oregon and the impact was heard all the way from Salem to Medford, according to various reports.

Newspapers across the western half of the state and KPTV were getting phone calls from people who saw the object.

Summer Jensen of Portland said she was sitting in her living room with her father when they saw the flash of light outside and rushed to see what it was.

"I've never seen anything like that," Jensen said, adding that the object appeared to be moving slowly compared to a typical meteor, or "shooting star."

Have a picture or video? Email KPTV.

Following the sighting of an unusual meteor nearby, the residents of Maple Street are held firmly in the grasp of growing fear and paranoia when their electric power, telephone lines and motor vehicles all suddenly fail to function for no explainable reason.

One thing I'm puzzled about is others described the trajectory as north to south, and the color as orange.

Were there multiple meteors at about the same time? If it was a single meteor, the color may have changed as the outer layers burned off and/or the temp cooled.

Now I'm very curious. I live in Eastern Washington and tonight about 10:30 PM my brother-in-law and I were out on the deck and saw what appeared to be a rather large meteorite streaking low, east to southwest, and trailing blue sparks. We both thought it was the biggest meteorite we'd seen and it sure looked like it was going to hit ground before it burned out.

Occasionally, the idea that we are living in a campy SciFi horror film pops up.
