Burnt orange ball from 06:50 rising from the west for about 30 seconds until it reach the '10:30' postion in the sky before blinking ou
Walking into work I noticed from the western horizon a bright, burnt orange fireball rising slowly off the horizon. ABout the size of a quarter held at arms length.
Completly clear, pre-dawn sky. As it rose slowly it went from 9 o'clock position to about 10:30 position in the sky in about 30 or so seconds then simply 'blinked out'.
I saw the color stay mostly the same. It did vary in brightness but only slightly.
2 other persons saw the episode aswell. ALthough there were 'many' reports made to WNEP16 news and persons out of OHIO had reported seeing it.
(It wasn't a shuttle launch, or rocket/missle) The object remained as a ball the entire time had no trails/tail. Go figure.
NUFORC Note:
Date is approximate. Dramatic sightings occurred in northern California on Friday morning, 09SE02, and in Zimbabwe (Rhodesia) on 16SE02. PD
