| burning fireball in sky mistook for moon! Last night my girlfriend and I came home from dinner and we went outside to have a cigarette. Right as I stepped outside I looked to the lower northern sky and noticed something very piculiar! at first I thought i was looking at the moon due to the shape and size that it normally would have been. But it looked to be glowing or burning? The first thing I said to my girlfriend was, "Hey, look at the moon, it looks like it's on fire!" She turned around, and we both looked in amazment as the burning sphere in the sky shifted its light source within itself. At first the entire object was a red/maroon color. over the next two minutes the object seemed to transform the light within, shifting it downward and then upward within the sphere. After a few minutes the object dropped in the sky and we could see it through some trees approx. 3 miles from us. After that it seemed to fade away and disapear. So, am I crazy or did anyone else see what my girlfriend and I know we saw? Very interested in knowing!! |
