Characteristics: Left a trail, Changed Colo

shape was almost an oval but larger at ends. there were two of them. it was burning with a slight tail of fire. the colors were blue, orange, yellow, red, purple & green. the fireballs appeared to be very large, and we thought for a few seconds that it was a plane crashing, however, it was noiseless.

NUFORC Note:

We do not know what a "fireball" is that lasts for 90 minutes. Our first guess would be that the witness was looking at a "twinkling" star, but that is only a guess. PD
