Bright Egg shaped low flying Fireball over Elk Hills Petroleum Reserve in California.

We were driving South West on Highway 119, half a mile out of Valley Acres, CA. I say a bright orange egg shaped object that looked like it had a huge fire ball coming from the back of it. The object looked like it came from the Elk Hills Petroleum Reserve. For a couple of seconds it looked like it was still so I thought they were just burning off natural gas. Suddenly the object started moving from North West to a South East direction. The object looked to be flying very low, starting at about 500ft then increasing altitude as it flew South East. The object was not flying that fast. At one point, I drove underneath the object. As the object flew South East, the orange glow went disappeared but the object was still there. After a couple of seconds of the orange glow disappeared, the object disappeared also. I know how this sounds, but I can guarantee that this object was not an airplane or a rocket of any sort.
