Fireball in Oregon

There have been reports of a fiery object crashing to the ground in Oregon USA. A photograph was taken of the object last Thursday at about 4.50 PM local time from a town called Salem, which ironically came to attention two years ago during the spectacular eclipse over North America, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2017/08/2017-american-eclipse.html. The police at the Polk County Sheriff's Office responded by sending officers to search the area. The US Air Force and Federal Aviation Administration have also been involved in the mystery. The original best guess is that it was a descending meteorite, but so far no debris has been found. Polk County is mostly countryside, farmland and small towns or villages. This is reminiscent of a very similar event in southwest England a couple of months ago, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2019/09/mystery-object-crashes-near-plymouth.html. Source: https://thejjreport.com/world-news/fireball-that-streaked-over-oregon-and-crashed-was-likely-a-meteor/. The police posted this on their Facebook page: "PCSO is scaling back resources. The exact location of the fireball is unknown. PCSO will utilize aircraft during daylight hours tomorrow in an attempt to cover the rough terrain in the area and wrap up the search. PCSO has utilized all available aviation tracking systems and no planes have been lost. PCSO has been investigating a large fireball falling to the earth in the southwest area of Polk County. The fireball was reported as a plane crash and PCSO is working to locate a possible landing location and exactly what the fireball is." As with the Plymouth case, I ask any readers living in the local area, which is too far away for me to visit personally, keep a lookout for any strange activity; roads closed by roadblocks. Excessive military presence in the form of ground troops as well as aircraft. Listen out for any rumours of other strange objects in the sky along with explosions, odd sounds or vibrations. The news story might go quiet or there might be a cover story. We need to be sure this is not... I'm going to get in there first! The Oregon Roswell.
