1999-04-21 - Addy, WA - Fireball

I was driving home from town. I turned on my main road toward my home. I saw a flash I thought it was lightning. But then a section of the sky lite up like it was day light and a fireball came through the middle. It looked like it had a tail of fire. From my location it looked like it went down on the other side of the mountain east of my home . I drove home shaking and asked my family if they saw the fireball. But the shades were closed. I turned up the scanner and one of the county sheriffs was asking if anyone just saw the fireball. The next day on my way home there was a lot of helicopters flying around the area. My husband said it must be some kind of training I said maybe they were looking for where the fireball went down.
