Ball of Light - Eddystone, MB

My brother reported seeing a ball of light on the morning of 17 Dec 2006 at 5:30 AM in the vicinity of Eddystone, MB Canada. It was a clear night/morning. He saw it for about 1-2 seconds, but another witness travelling in a different vehicle saw it for a bit longer.

My brother saw it for a couple of seconds, he presumed it to be about the size of a basketball and 75 feet away, "could've been bigger". It changed colours, from yellow to purple and there was a light trail from it (do not know how long) . He thought he saw something dangle from beneath it "like a wire". It travelled diagonally from the top of the treeline to a few feet off the ground then "just disappeared". They didn't stop to take a closer look (Why they didn't, I don't know)He said it "sorta travelled slowly". It was tough for him to understand what he saw as it was for a couple of seconds.

I will say this about what the other witness said, but bear in mind this is my brothers word about it, and I haven't spoken to that witness yet. He saw it for a few seconds, but it came from the sky (how high or direction, I do not know)but it did change colours as it descended. From red/blue/white/purple etc. It changed frequently. It left a light trail.

It travelled slowly then disappeared, just as my brother had said.

I'm not sure what this could be, but I have another family member who has seen "an orb".
