orange fireball in cull. al.

my wife had just let the dog out and was watching from the living room windows.

she said "come LOOK at this!" i thought she probably saw a jet with its landing lights on.what i beheld was a huge glowing orange plasma?/fire?ball in the sky to the south-probably about a few miles away.the sky was crystal clear and no moon.

the object had a trail of plasma coming up off of it and coming down below it (very thin)giving it a shape like a bulbous icesicle.it continued straight toward our house--due north,as it did the plasma faded slowly and revealed either a diamond shaped or triangular shaped aircraft with a row of greenish lights all the way across the bottom. it also had blinking lights on the wingtips.there was NO sound associated with its passing!it was flying around medium altitude-we listened for about 10 minutes after its passing!
