Orange Fire Ball

July 6th, 2011, me and my daughter were headed home from Wal-Mart, when we pulled into our driveway my 11 year old daughter asked me what the orange light in the sky was. I looked up, but in a different direction and only seen an airplane. Then she proceeded to tell me, no mom, look this way! I turned and never have I seen an object like this before. It was orange and compared to the other airplanes in the sky it would have been 10 times bigger than an average airplane.

First I thought it may be a weather balloon like always assumed, but when it went up and down and backwards then out of sight I was in shock! Never in my life have I seen something like this. And we live in the city, where I thought nothing happens here. Boy was I wrong! That’s what we have seen and I hope that if anyone in my area has seen the same sighting please let me know! Thank you!
