Orange fireball in the sky over Las Vegas. I can best describe the object I saw as an orange fireball. I was standing in my backyard when I noticed it moving across the north west portion of the sky, in the direction of Mt. Charleston. My home is a considerable distance from Mt. Charleston, so I assume it would have been a significantly large object for it to be seen from several miles away. It did not change direction or appear to speed up or slow down and made a consistent line across the sky. Even though it was roughly 8pm, there was still a decent amount of daylight; the sun hadn’t completely set. I observed the object for approximately 5 minutes before it was obscured first by neighboring buildings and then finally by the mountain itself.
