| Remarks | I was driving back to Portland on Hwy 26 East bound. The Meteor came down between Hwy 26 east and westbound lanes, I searched news articles at the time, but found nothing. It was a clear evening very fast line of light, my passenger in my car did not see it. The time is close... I think? The meteor disappeared into the West hills of Portland I guess it was hundreds of miles away? It was beautiful. golden orange color. |
