THE SKY WAS CLEAR, NO CLOUDS. WE SAW A BALL OF LIKE FIRE WITH A STREAK BEHIND IT.

WE BOTH SAW THE SAME THING, SO I KNOW I WAS NOT IMAGINING IT. IT WAS VERY BRIGHT AND BIG. I HAVE LOOKED ON THE NEWS TO SEE IF A METEOR HAD FALLEN BUT I HAVE NOT SEEN ANYTHING PERTAINING TO IT, SO I DECIDED TO REPORT OUR SIGHTING TO SEE IF IT WAS SEEN BY ANYONE ELSE. WE ARE COUSINS. FEMALES AND IN OUR EARLY 30'S. WE DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL OR DO ANY DRUGS OF ANY KIND. WE WERE WONDERING WHAT IT WAS, BECAUSE AS LONG AS I HAVE BEEN LIVING I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE.

THANK YOU,
