IN BRIEF
Flaming object spotted
in Oregon night sky
PORTLAND — A fireball streaked
through the night sky across the
western half of the Pacific North
west on Saturday, startling people
all the way from southern Oregon to
the Seattle area.
Scientists said the fireball was
probably a meteor, and that it likely
disintegrated just before any frag
ments fell into the Pacific Ocean.
Summer Jensen of Portland said
she was sitting in her living room
with her father when she saw the
flash of light outside and rushed to
see what it was.
“It was like a big ball of fire ...
(and) behind it was a trail of blue,”
she said. “I’ve never seen anything
like that.” Jensen added that the ob
ject appeared to be moving slowly.
Michael O’Connor, a duty officer at
the Federal Aviation Administration’s
regional office in Renton, Wash., said
he fielded “a whole ton of calls” from
people reporting they had seen a
bright streak across the sky shortly
before 8p.m.
He said police, pilots and some air
traffic controllers described it as “a
green ball of fire with a long tail.”
He said reports came from as far east
as the TVi Cities area in Washington.
“It appears to have come down
over the ocean,” said Dick Pugh of
the Cascadia Meteorite Laboratory in
Portland.
He said the object flew over the Pa
cific Coast, streaking along from
south to north.
The last time a meteor was report
ed striking anything on the ground in
Oregon — becoming a meteorite —
was in May 1981.
Eugene among top 10 best
cities to walk in nation
Two Oregon cities are among the
top 10 rated best for walking, accord
ing to a national group of doctors.
Eugene ranked No. 8 and Port
land was No. 4 on the 2005 list com
piled by the American Podiatric
Medical Association.
The association ranked the na
tion’s 200 largest cities by such crite
ria as the number of people who ex
ercise daily and the number of people
taking public transportation.
Arlington, Va., a suburb of Wash
ington, D.C., was ranked No. 1,
while the nation’s capital also made
the list at No. 6. Two other West
Coast cities — San Francisco and
Seattle — were ranked second and
third, respectively. Laredo, Texas,
was ranked last at No. 200.
The list was released to encourage
American city dwellers “to get out and
walk in an effort to keep their feet and
bodies fit,” the association said.
“One of the reasons why Eugene
ranked fairly high is because of the
active lifestyles that the residents
lead,” association spokeswoman
Amie Haer said.
The top 10 list, in order, was: Ar
lington, Va.; San Francisco; Seattle;
Portland; Boston; Washington, D.C.;
New York City; Eugene; Jersey City,
N.J.; Denver.
