No of observers: 1

Location: Palm Springs, CA, USA

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object

Bright orange light appeared in the sky and quickly descended towards the earth in a straight line.

I saw a bright orange light appear in the sky, quickly descend towards the earth in a straight line and vanish before reaching the earth’s surface. The object was circular and the size of a dime. While it was in the distance, I could tell the flying object was in Earth’s stratosphere. It appeared the UFO was 20-30km from the ground and exploring the mountains in Palm Springs. I was staying at Sparrow’s Lodge (E Palm Canyon Drive) and was facing South/South-West at the time of the sighting.

To me, the most bizarre thing about the sighting was that the UFO was moving quickly towards the earth. I suppose I always imagined UFO’s beaming back to space, not towards us.
