Fireball sighting
My family and I were outside sitting around our fire pit, enjoying a beautiful, peaceful night. Our neighbors were lighting fireworks, bottle rockets and such. Something caught my eye. It appeared to be a big, round, fireball hovering over my garage.
At first I thought maybe it was a firework, but it was pretty big and it just sat there for a minute. I pointed it out to my family who all began to watch the ball of fire. It hovered above the garage for a minute, then it started moving further away but slowly.
Then it disappeared! Right after that, as we all continued to look into the sky to find it again.
We all saw a very quickly moving "star" that took off and was traveling at a very fast speed and then also disappeared.
This was not a shooting star!! I have never seen anything quite like it.
All who saw this that night could barley speak. When I saw the increased sightings of "fireballs," I had to post this. We saw one!! For sure!!
