Green fireball streak lights up Pacific Northwest as other meteors dazzle across the U.S.
A bright green fireball was captured on a dashcam over southwestern Washington near Portland, lighting up the dawn sky as a meteor seen across the Pacific Northwest. The green color is typically from magnesium (nickel can contribute), and NASA notes related fireball sightings across multiple states and Ontario, with a larger Ohio meteor fragmenting and possibly reaching the ground. With more dashboard and doorbell cameras, scientists may deduce trajectory, though ground hits from fireballs are rare.
