“Green Ball Of Fire” Flashes Across Sky Here

Bob Bryant, Herald apprentice, and Bob Hewer, member of this city’s airforce cadet group, have reported seeing a “green fireball with a reddish tail” in the sky north of Penticton last Saturday.

The phenomenon flashed across the sky about 11 p.m. and appeared to go out after several seconds.

The fireball appeared to come from the east side of the lake and was descending at a sharp angle in the general direction of Westbank.

“It was much bigger than a falling star,” the boys said.
