Flash over Culver, OR

The report, as filed

A buddy and I were driving home from Madras, south on US highway 97 when I (the passenger) saw a giant, bright gold/yellow colored orb flash very low in the sky/horizon. This light flashed at exact intervals moving north, back toward Madras, about 10 miles away--this all happened in roughly 10 seconds. My friend also saw the light flash a few times when he looked through the rear window of our truck, at its furthest point until it wasn't able to be seen. I have never seen anything like this and have absolutely no explanation what it could have been in this rural area of high desert farmland--I have driven this stretch of highway hundreds of times in early evening, during the night. Again, this light was massive in size, like somebody turned on a giant floodlight, each flash equidistant and at exact intervals. The amount of distance it moved in such a short span of time is unexplainable.
