Residents from Washington to California reported seeing a green fireball zoom through the skies in the early hours of Monday morning.
The American Meteor Society reported on Monday morning that it had received over 200 reports of a “green fireball” from residents in Seattle stretching all the way to San Francisco.
Manager of the American Meteor Society Mike Hankey stated, “A fireball meteor came into the atmosphere, and … it was a small rock from an asteroid, fragment from an asteroid.”

Per KOIN:
Several people reported seeing a “bright green fireball” over the Pacific Northwest early Monday morning, according to the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry.
Between 5:55 a.m. and 6:20 a.m., dozens of reports were submitted to the American Meteor Society’s fireball log from the San Francisco area all the way to Seattle.
According to Jim Todd with OMSI, fireballs are bright meteors that can be seen from a distance of about 60 to 80 miles above.
When meteors travel through the atmosphere, Todd said that they create fiction causing the meteors to burn up.
