No of observers: 2

Location: Santa Clarita, CA, USA

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

A yellow/orange fireball/orb like object hovering then dissapearing about 20 stories high of the ground in Santa Clarita, California.

My husband is a nurse at a hospital and I am a stay at home mom to our one son.

On Christmas day we drove to my grandparents house to have a Christmas dinner with my side of the family.

As my husband was taking our son out of the car, I noticed a orange/yellowish fire ball/orb like object moving extremely slow in a horizontal direction going right, then it suddenly stopped and it was just hovering there for about a minute, not moving or making any sound at all it was completely silent.

It was a really quiet night in a really quiet neighborhood, so we would have been able to hear if it was a plane or a helicopter.

When my husband finally got our son out of the car, I showed him the orb. We stood and watched it.. it was about 20 stories high of the ground...way to low for a helicopter or plane. It appeared to be on fire..or glowing.

Then suddenly it just went up and to the right in a diagonal motion extremely fast and after about 10 seconds we could not see! it anymore.

It definitely made that Christmas a memorable one.
