Ball of fire observed in sky.
On the night of July 7th 2011 at approximately 12:28 am, I observed a single ball of fire in the sky heading in a East to West direction in Tarpon Springs, Florida (Pinellas county), with myself looking in a southeast direction. This occurred in front of my house upon returning from my boyfriend's house.
Initially, I believed that it was an aircraft but upon further observation the object was bright and orange/red in color which had the appearance of fire that pulsated; the object did not leave a trail or change color. I observed the object for approximately 2 minutes. At first, the object was "cruising" along until I began to film it. At that point, the object slowed but kept traveling West. Eventually, the object slowed to a stop, began to ascend into the sky and finally faded from view.
