I was driving the car and I saw that light coming between the clouds. I stoped the car and got out the car.

I was taking my friend and his pregnant wife to his home. It was about 9 PM or little later. Streets were quite. The weather was cloudy. I saw that light coming at us above the clouds making shadows. It had a sparkling tail and it was very bright. I saw lots of falling meteors but this was not a meteor. I stopped the car and told my friend that we are about to see a UFO. They were exciting too; we got out of the car and start to look at this object. It was very fast and bright. We could see it's sparkling tail behind and it passed by right above us. No noise. Basically it went from one end horizon to the other between the clouds. Next morning the newspapers had a FrontPage and half of the page covered that saying lots of people saw three or more UFOs that night. It's tail was abut ten times longer then itself and we could see it as big as ping pong ball.
