| Remarks | I’m always grateful to be able to catch things of this nature going about my day/night. I seem to see something almost monthly. I drive/travel quite a bit & usually at night. Now that I know of this website, I can have someone/somewhere to report what I see. I am a 13yr military veteran (service connected disabled). |

| Duration | 1s |
| Length | 12° |
| Remarks | While driving eastbound on I-84 from La Grande to Baker City, OR. The object traveled/fell from 70°-78° to around 40-45° flashing red, green, white. I thought it was a regular aircraft at first, but the speed & trajectory were much faster & a manned aircraft could not have flown in that position/direction without an imminent crash following my sighting. The train looked as a fire burning out or a torch being waved fast in the direction i annotated. Ultimately fizzling out with no color remaining, only faint grayish-white.. like a fire being extinguished. |
