Three friends including myself went on a drive north towards the Wyoming border to shoot my brothers new gun. The car got stuck in some mud on a dirt road we went down. After trying to put sticks under the tire to get leverage to drive out we gave up and decided to walk to the main road we drove on and to stay on that road until we could find a house to call for help..(We were in the middle of nowhere.) We walked I would guess 3 miles then us 4 including myself saw two "balls of fire" in the air about 30 yards off the road we were walking on. They did not appear to be large, maybe the size of a basketball. They moved quickly in all kinds of directions. Not sure how to explain it. We got scared and started running down the road, until we were a good distance away from the "fire balls". We stopped and watched and the 2 fire balls continued to move quickly in many directions but never really leaving the same area. We were still scared so decided to run again. W! e ran until the fireballs were out of sight. (Ran for about 5 minutes streight). This has caused me psycologic issues, I am now on several medications including sleeping pills due to the fact that I can't sleep at night because it still freightens me. I'm only 21 years old, and I was not drunk or on any drug at the time this happened. My brother and his roommate and my friend all saw it. My friends roommmate died a week ago in the same area due to losing control of his car. (Its unknown why he was out in the middle of nowhere,and still unknown how he lost control of his car,possibly a deer ran out in front of him.) I don't believe in "aliens", but somthing is going on I swear to god and I'm christian.

The fire balls were a dark red on the inside and a lighter red/pink on the outside.

They moved very quickly in a "z" like way.

It was about the size of a basketball I would guess.

This is not a joke. This has caused me neurology issues, and now have to take medications to keep me sane pretty much.

Thanks for listening.
