Glowing red ball rose from ground slowing during tour in Iraq.
While serving in the Army during my tour in Iraq, I was walking alone at night toward the chow hall. It was a quiet night with no activity. I glanced to my left and suddenly a glowing red ball (larger than a softball, a little smaller than a basketball), slowly rose up from the ground toward the sky diagonally. It was about 5-7 feet away when it started to rise. It was not a tracer bullet as it was much larger and slower and there was no sound. As it rose, it picked up speed and was quickly out of sight.
