I can't believe it.
Saw another bright long bolide on my drive home tonight, but get this...
I was driving on the exact same stretch of road that I was on when I saw the last one! (reported above)
Probably only tens of metres difference.
Crazy.

This one was at exactly 18:34 (checked my watch and have adjusted by checking online clocks (NIST etc)
Was bright white/blue but didn't leave a trail that I could see.
It started low and slow and looked as though it would disappear below the horizon but it seemed to flicker a bit then one final brightish flash as it burned out just before getting to the horizon.
Either that or it disappeared behind distant cloud that I can't see.
Pretty speccy.
Anyone else in southwest WA see it?
