Location: Spokane County (on I-90; westbound), WA, USA

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Left a trail

At three am in the morring I saw a red fireball cross the sky over washington state prairie.

I was west bound on I-90 and saw a red light on the south side of the freeway. I drive truck though this area four times a week, and know where all the towers are.

This light kept getting brighter so I pulled over and stood on my running board. I saw a red fireball traveling east about 1000 ft.

At first I thought it was a plane on fire going down. Then I thought it might be a satellite crashing. But as it passed It never hit the ground.

I was so surprised I never got my phone to take a picture.
