SEATTLE - A flaming object was spotted streaking through the night sky across Western Oregon, Washington and reportedly as far south as northern California.

Hundreds of Washington residents called the KOMO news desk to report seeing a bright green object streak across the sky just before 8 p.m.

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.

She said the object appeared to be moving slowly compared to a typical meteor, or "shooting star."

Callers as far north as Vancouver, British Columbia reported seeing the flash.

Officials with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Seattle said the description was consistent with a meteor hitting the upper levels of the Earth's atmosphere. They do not believe the object made it to the ground.
