Meteor in Oregon
National Geographic has a news piece about a large fireball seen over Oregon early on Tuesday. A bunch of people witnessed it falling and then explode in the sky. The article suggests that in the days to come, we may find chunks of the exploded space rock in impact sites around the Pacific Northwest (assuming it's not that spy satellite the Navy shot down around the same time...). Check it out.

Turns out that they located it using the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network at the University of Washington, and cleared up some of the claims that people had actually seen it land. (That and the Nevada earthquake were last week's excitement at UW, according to the seismologists I talked to there this weekend.)
