I sighted VERY large blue-green meteor of extended duration in the sky near Portland OR

i recently reported on this site that my brother saw two large meteors, on bluish, on the same evening last night, 3/12, i was travelling south by car down the Columbia Gorge, Interstate 84, near Hood River and the Yakima Indian res i saw a very large meteor, trace downward thru the sky, seeming to break up and disappear over portland (but, i assumed, perhaps in the Pacific Ocean) the meteor appeared to be about the size of the moon -- that is, not its showing crescent, but the entire moon it was blue-green, shading more strongly towards blue i detected no sound, but it might have been over-ridden by my engine noise i have seen a number of large meteors, but never one that large, nor that color this sighting will correpond with my brother's recent sighting near Kettle Falls, WA, and also with increased tectonic activity on the Pacific coast, including increased sub-marine mini-eruptions
