Location: Beloit, WI, USA

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Changed Color, Aircraft nearby

A yellow fireball diving straight down stops for a few seconds, changes color, then goes straight down again.

My friend and I were driving westbound on Interstate 43 into Beloit, WI when we both saw what, at first, we thought was a plane on fire, heading straight for the ground. It was going straight down at an accelerating speed, a few hundred feet in the air, when all of the sudden it slowed down and leveled out-like on a plateau, and headed north for a few seconds before resuming it's path downward at the same speed. It also changed color from an orangish yellow to a bright red. The end of it looked like it had a flame-like tail. We lost it behind some trees on the horizon. We tried to follow it, but didn't see another trace of it.
