NUFORC Sighting 120990

Occurred: 2015-08-06 20:40 Local
Reported: 2015-08-08 18:32 Pacific
Duration: 40 seconds
No of observers: 5

Location: Callaway, FL, USA

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Left a trail

Flickering red orange that resembled a fire ball. Moving slowly then stopping and slowing going out.

Happened to look up in the sky about one quarter up to see a flickering bright orange red light that seemed to have a slight black smoke trail behind it, moving pretty slow.

Then it seemed to stop mid air and slowly start to dim then go out. And the other observers said they still saw a black figure replace the light but I was not able to see it.

From the time we saw it and it went "out" was about 40 seconds. It reminded me of a hot air balloon really far away on fire but hovering.
