The only thing is if it were a meteor it can't be very far from here. Somewhere between the hills behind Spirit Mountain Casino and towards the coast. Before Van Douzer

Remarks
I was going south down Grand Ronde Rd at or round 6:28pm. When I saw something moving in the sky. I looked up at first I thought an airplane but was too big. Then I thought there is no airport that way. It seemed some what close by and was going down at a angle. There was a train behind it from the glow of the movement. Then I noticed what seemed as if there were orange/red ambers coming off it. It slightly flickered a bit and then went out. I really don't think it's that far from here. A few mikes at best. It seemed to be in our atmosphere and falling to the ground.
Terminal flash
Observation
Unknown
Remarks
I don\'t know what that means. It flickered a little a couple times then went out. No flash no explosion. Just like turning off a light. Just went out
