Not much to see in the video, looked as if the witness tripped and fell down.
The video was from February. Or January, depending on how they did the dates. 2019-02-01.

Bad reporting. Look at bottom of the video: AMS event #513, a bolide that exploded over Cuba in February, 2019.
Two photos of the Oregon fireball are at the bottom of the page. Left picture you can see the contrail illuminated by the setting sun. Right picture appears to have been taken several minutes later and shows the contrail backlit by the bright sky. If you note, there's no significant change in length or shape of the contrail. Doesn't look much like a fireball streaking through the sky. Most likely, left by an airliner.
