Summary : Ball of fire moving up the Columbia River. Just made a "B" line. No sudden movement

Was just turning dusk. Summer of 1981. I looked up in the sky and saw a ball of fire moving up the Columbia River Gorge. I ran in the house to tell others, they too came out to see fire ball. My friend was also with me. I called the radio station and they said that it was a weather ballon. (Yah right!) We didn't have a camera which I wished I did have one. All I have is memories of the fire ball that movied horizonally up the River and out of sight, never burning out. It made NO noise what so ever.
