I was in my upstairs bathroom looking out of the window and I saw what appeared to be a teardrop shaped fireball moving northwest through the sky.
At first I thought it was an airplane simply because I live by an airport but this light was not flashing like an airplane signal light usually does, but the light I witnessed was much larger, brighter, and vividly orange. As my curiosity grew, I opened the window and listened but there wasn't any noise whatsoever. The light was visible for about 45 seconds to a minute and appeared to be gradually rising before disappearing into the night.
((NUFORC Note: We presume a nighttime sighting, and have changed the time above, accordingly. PD))
