Sky fireball over Pac NW
Coverage on Portland TV...lots of footage. Bright orange flames..onject seems to be breaking in pieces. Definitely NOT a meteor shower. Maybe a satellite falling & breaking up? Might be footage available on the net later...or might be on social media? Much of what the local TV news was showing seemed to come from viewers cell phones...

As crowded as we've made our orbital space we may see more and more of this.
