ROYAL BLUE BALL WITH SMALL ORANGE BALLS WITH THICK RED FIRE STREAK

I have delivered newspapers in the same area for seven years.My husband always goes with me. I have seen what you call falling star's, but never anything like this. I was half way through my route and was making a u-turn when a bright light in the sky cought my eye.I stopped and said, what is that-look! I knew that it was 4:52 am because i had just looked at the time before as i always do. I check the time at that spot to see how soon we will be done.We saw a royal blue round ball going very fast with a long streak of red fire streaking from it in the sky.It looked like the size of a soccur ball from where we were at.The streak of fire behind it was very long and was as thick as the blue ball.There was smaller orange balls coming off the blue ball before dissapearing very fast.There was a trail of grey white smoke like big puffy clouds for a long time after it dissapeared. I have seen jet's leave streaks in the sky, but nothing like this. The first thing i thought of was an airplane on fire, but nothing fell from the sky, it just dissapeared. This left me shaking for quite a few minutes. it really frightened me. My husband said it was in the direction of Utah. When we got home we called KLAS TV Channel 8. We told them what we saw. They said there was a lot of people calling in that had seen the same thing.They said they called the Airforce and Law Enforcement, but they did'nt have any answers to what it was. The TV station said they would have an update on the 5pm news.When we watched the news that night, they said they had no answers to what everyone saw. If anyone has any answers to what it was, i would appreciate hearing about it.
