 Just as a matter of conincidence, there was just recently a daylight
 sighting of a fireball meteor observed by southern Washington (the State)
 and northern Oregon.  Any eye-witnesses out there?  I had the priveledge
 of seeing an extremely impressive fireball meteor about ten years ago
 from Everett Washington.  Duration was several minutes, Flames were
 very obvious, and the meteor broke into four fireballs as it approached
 the horizon. Something my wife and I will never forget.
