Reported: 2012-11-16 05:34 Pacific
Duration: 5 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: West Jordan, UT, USA

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Lights on object

We were in our car driving west (oquirrh mountains). I look up and I thought I saw a shooting star because I see a big ball with little lights coming from behind it. So I turn to my husband and I ask him if he can see what I'm seeing. We are stopped and we are just staring at it and it's so big and bright and not moving. There is no way it could be a plane. So we are looking at it trying to figure out what it is and then all of a sudden the little lights behind the big ball of fire just turn off one by one and then it just disappears. We tried to search for what we saw in the sky but we couldnt find it again. It was so big I want to know if anyone else saw what we saw or can explain it.
