Have telescopes and have had telescopes for the last like 10 years and look at the Moon maybe once a month when I get a chance so I'm not constantly looking up but I'm someone who does look up to admire the beauty. In the last 4 weeks maybe 5 weeks I have seen three of these fireballs with my eyes and I was under the impression this was a rare event that someone might see once in lifetime. To see them in the extent that I've seen them in such close succession has me let's say feeling blessed and a little anxious. Mostly blessed

Like I said above it came into sight above and over my left shoulder and I watched it for a healthy 3 seconds starting with just a bright bright green light getting a tail it's working behind it and smoothly going from that to complete fragmentation and burn out heading from the Oregon coast to mount Hood
