NUFORC Sighting 47668

Occurred: 2005-11-06 21:53 Local
Reported: 2005-11-12 15:15 Pacific
Duration: 1& 1/2 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Lodi, CA, USA

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Changed Colo

My daughter and I in Lodi, California watched a Orange/yellow glowing object moving slowly over my house.

My daughter and I stepped out onto my patio last Sunday night and I immediately noticed an orange/yellow round shaped object in the sky it was heading from south to north over our house.

I could not tell how high it was, but it looked bigger overall than the usual air traffic that I would normally see in this area.

The first thing that I noticed about the object was that it had no navigation lights on it, instead the whole thing glowed brite orange/yellow. It was moving much slower than an airplane and made absolutely no sound.

After about 20 seconds of watching this object it did something very weird, fire fell off of it. It looked like some one poured a flaming liquid out of this object, at first the steam of fire coming out was brite yellow and then it changed to orange and then vanished. If the object was say fifty feet in diameter then the steam of fire was 150 feet long.

As we watched, fire fell off three different times and then the whole object made a very sudden slow right turn and headed east, as it headed east the object began to turn a dull orange and then it vanished into the night sky.

I am 55 years old and my daughter is 26 and neither of us has ever seen anything like this in our lives.
