seen over McMinnville Oregon. Driving out by the airport,the sky was dark but clear. I looked out the passenger window and couldn't explain what I saw. There was a plume of smoke with a bright large (maybe 10ft a cross ,it was difficult to gage how far into the distance it was ,or how high in the sky it was.) It looked like a giant flash light was shining down. I thought it was a meteor, but it didn't seem to be moving, nor did it look like what I'd expect a meteor ,or astroid ,or what have you. There was no tail, it was more compact.....stumpy. The man driving decided to pull over so he could get a better look, but just as he said it the light blinked a couple times and the just went out. Right when it went out, there seemed to be a little piece of something that was burning. It shot off to the upper left and immediately it burnt out. And that was it. All that was left was a poor of smoke. I was stunned, and I thought for sure with its size and the 15 seconds that I saw it, (let alone the actual filtration of time it was present) I was SURE somebody, somewhere had caught it with their cell phone, or camera. But, nothing. I heard nothing about it. I don't know what I saw, but I know it was something extraordinary. Finding this site helped me see that maybe I saw something even more unusual.
