Was driving home from Portland to Norway and saw the object out my left window behind the tops of the trees. It passed from behind me to beyond me. It only lasted a few seconds.

the object appeared as a bright yellow streak that broke up into several bright yellow-orange pieces. I heard no noise, however.
