Fireball Falls to Earth in Central Oregon

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office investigated a large fireball falling to the earth in the southwest area of Polk County early Thursday evening. The fireball was reported as a plane crash and the Polk County Sheriff’s Office is worked to locate a possible landing location and exactly what the fireball was.

On Friday, after utilizing aircraft during daylight hours Friday in an attempt to cover the rough terrain in the area, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office scaled back resources searching the area with the exact location of the fireball remaining unknown.
