White ball of light from south to north

My husband and I were sitting outside about 9 PM when we noticed 8 aircraft flying in formation from east to west. There was also a helicopter flying around the Yakima area at the same time. All of a sudden we saw a flash of orange/red light fall out of the sky and head in the northern direction. It fell like a meteor only it took on the shape of a teardrop as it dropped in the north, turning white. We saw one last evening 9/10 only it was white the whole time.
