Green Fireballs over Northern California March 1998
On Sunday, March 8, 1998, at about 6 p.m., a bright green fireball appeared over Placerville, California (population 8,355), a small city on Highway 50 about 44 miles (70 kilometers) east of Sacramento.

Minutes later, the fireball hovered in the sky over Sacramento, the state capital. Motorists stopped their cars on San Juan Road and Del Paso Road in the west end of the city to observe the phenomenon.

"Traffic on Interstate (Highway) 80 between Davis and Dixon slowed to a halt as motorists stopped to watch the fireball. Many drivers swamped the California Highway Patrol with phone calls, but the control tower at Sacramento (Metropolitan) airport insisted no planes were missing."

Sacramento (population 369,365) is 91 miles (145 kilometers) east of San Francisco.

In Monterey (population 31,954), located 125 miles (200 kilometers) south of San Francisco, witnesses reported the green fireball hovering over the bay.

"The (U.S.) Coast Guard contacted Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, which confirmed that it was a big meteor shower."

Coast Guard spokesman Lt. Alan Tubbs said, "It was just getting dark and everybody was facing this direction just as the sun was coming down. It was the king of all meteor showers."

Green Fireballs over the Mojave Desert March 1998
Jack Curtis does a lot of night-driving in his occupation. The job takes him from his home in Quartzite, Arizona to Sacramento, California and Parowan, Utah. He's seen a lot of strange things in the desert at night. But nothing quite so strange as what he witnessed in March 1998.

"My two sightings were about a week apart in March," he reported, "Both were really large green fireballs looking basketball size. The first one was on a close flyby and was so bright it was brilliant through the clouds. I was on California Highway 58 eastward around 0200 (2 a.m.) and it was streaking over the highway eastward and was visible for five to ten seconds before disappearing. The location was between Mojave and Kramer Junction" which is located at the intersection of Highways 58 and 395 about 60 miles (96 kilometers) northeast of Los Angeles.

"At Kramer Junction (also known as Four Corners, at the northeastern edge of Edwards Air Force Base --J.T.) I talked to a semi (truck) driver who witnessed it in clear skies when he was traveling west toward Kramer Junction from Barstow (population 21,472) and was quite surprised by its size, brilliance and speed."

"The next one (sighting) was identical except I was westbound from Baker (population 650) toward Barstow and watched it traveling towards the north-northeast. It was a clear night and it actually made shadows on the ground. It was a spectacular sight to witness." (Many thanks to Jack L. Curtis for this report.) UFO ROUNDUP, Volume 3, Number 22

New UFO sighting in Northern Virginia April 1998
On Friday afternoon, April 3, 1998, salesman James Rickert, 26, was having lunch with about a dozen colleagues at a restaurant in downtown Fairfax, Virginia (population 17,622) when they suddenly spotted a UFO.

Fairfax is ten miles (16 kilometers) southwest of Washington, D.C., near the Capitol's Beltway.

"I was eating outside on a porch at the restaurant with 12 co-workers," Rickert reported. "Three of us at one table and many others eating at the restaurant saw a green orb in the sky. It moved along quickly and steadily for about ten seconds, going across the sky, then disappeared. Forty people outside also saw it. A few dismissed it as a shooting star. Those of us who saw it longer know that it was not. It glowed green and was cigar-shaped." (See Filer's Files #14 for 1998. Many thanks to George A. Filer of MUFON for this news story.)UFO ROUNDUP Volume 3, Number 15

A flash of Kryptonite green zipped across the Fredericksburg area on April 3, 1998, according to The Free Lance-Star article dated: April 7, 1998. Four Fredericksburg police officers saw a green shaped neon egg along with many other witnesses.

Neon Green UFO over Northern Virginia April 1998
On Friday, April 3, 1998, at 6:30 p.m., a UFO described as "a small, neon green, egg-shaped object" flew over downtown Fredericksburg, Virginia (population 19,027).

Several local residents, plus four officers of the Fredericksburg police, witnessed the UFO's overflight.

Eyewitness Robert Tolen of Spotsylvania County spotted the UFO while he was at a pay phone at Eubank's Amoco station on Princess Anne Street. "I believe it was a UFO," Tolen was quoted as saying in the Fredericksburg Free-Lance Star, "I don't care what anyone says."

Michael Todaro of Stafford County "was at a baseball field at Falmouth Elementary School" when he spied the UFO, saying, "It was one of the weirdest things I've ever seen."

"If someone else hadn't seen it, I never would have told anyone about it. Never. Never," Todaro told the Free-Lance Star.

According to the newspaper, the four officers "were in the parking lot behind police headquarters" when they sighted the object.

The newspaper checked with the Wallops Island missile test range near Chincoteague to determine if the witnesses had actually witnesses a rocket test. But a spokesman for Wallops Island told them that there "were no tests on Friday."

Fredericksburg is just south of Route 3, about 57 miles (91 kilometers) north of Richmond, the state capital.

The Free-Lance Star also reported a UFO incident near the Patuxent Naval Air Test Center in Lexington Park, Maryland (population 9,743). "Witnesses saw a blue UFO that same evening" near the center on Highway 235, and "It hovered for a few minutes, then sped away." (See the Fredericksburg Free-Lance Star for April 7, 1998.

Green / Multicolored UFO Sighted in Desert Near Indio, California June 1998
On Sunday, June 7, 1998, at 8:58 p.m., Jack L. Curtis was driving east on Interstate Highway I-10, heading home to Arizona, when he spotted something strange in the sky just outside Indio, California (population 36,793).

"I noticed a bright blue-green meteorite traveling eastward," Jack reported. "It was extremely brilliant, traveling rapidly but slower than a real meteorite. As it approached the eastern horizon, it appeared to burn out as it turned orange, then yellow, then disappeared from sight. The night was clear with dust limiting visibility slightly, and the moon was really full and bright."

"The object was in a straight line. I was driving directly east, and it was slightly to the left and dead ahead, so would have been about 080 (degrees) from from first view to disappearance. First view was also 45 degrees of (up from) the horizon...As I was traveling at freeway speed, it was impossible to hear anything but the engine...I estimate that it was about six to eight seconds from first view to disappearance."

Indio is at the intersection of I-10 and California Highway 86 approximately 115 miles (184 kilometers) east of Los Angeles. (Email Interview) UFO ROUNDUP, Volume 3, Number 24

Green UFO over Denver Suburb June 1998
On Thursday, June 11, 1998, at 9:45 p.m., Karen L. of Broomfield, Colorado saw "a strange green light in the sky. It was stationary for quite some time and then zipped back and forth in a zigzagging path. It was so unbelievably fast that the green light would leave a trailing path."

"There was a slight storm that night. After the light was done moving, it went to a stationary position and just being in the sky," she added. "Under the clouds of the storm came a great white light, then two other green-and-pink lights emerged and started moving towards the original green light. All three lights started going into this zigzagging dance. One even went from a stationary position and shot straight up and out of sight, leaving a (luminous) trail behind."

"The strangest of all was that it shot straight back down and also stopped in a stationary point again. This went on for approximately 15 minutes. Suddenly, all three shot straight up into the sky and disappeared in less than a second."

Karen reported her sighting to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department. Broomfield (population 24,638) is on Colorado Highway 11 approximately 11 miles (18 kilometers) north of Denver. (Many thanks to Tim Hagemeister of NACOMM for this report.) UFO ROUNDUP, Volume 3, Number 25
