bright orange orb ardmore oklahoma 7-3-2012

my friend and i were sitting on a south facing porch on the night of july 3 201 their had been a few fireworks going off.and was pitch black but a full moon was up also this was on the west side of ardmore oklahoma away from city lights i saw what looked like a roman candle go off in the distance went straight up it had a bright orange glow we kept waiting for something to happen to explode,turn but it stayed bright then came towards us in a straight line i would say it was about 5 miles away or so we wondered what it was we kept waiting to hear a noise once it got overhead their was still no noise or sound coming or going i think it was about a mile above going about the speed of a fast helicopter it was a orb bright orange with a hint of trailing flames sort of it went due north until out of sight i would say it was the size of a small car and was round in shape i think first time i’ve seen a ufo also my friend
