At 6:00 a.m., yesterday, Tuesday September 21st, fishermen along the Deschutes
river near the Columbia river witness a large fireball travelling from the
South to the North. It broke into multiple pieces with numerous bursts and
disruptions. They saw glowing pieces moving beyond the fireballs. The light
from the fireball cast shadows and illuminated the ground as dawn was
approaching. Several photographs were taken of the fireball and the con trail
that remained in the sky after the event. Bob Toman a river guide sitting in
his jet sled at the mouth of the Deschutes where it flows into the Columbia
river said that it was close to dark there on the river but the con trail was
illuminated by the rising sunlight. I am hoping to get him to email pictures to
me later today. Dick Pugh here in Portland would like to speak with Rob Matson
and Marc Fries. Could you guys please email your phone numbers to me.
Thanks very much, E.T.
