Orange comet shaped fireball changing into just fireball rapidly climbing. Sighted near Bristol Motor Speedway.
Sighted in moving car. 3 miles from race track (Springfield Acres subdivision). Looked like a fireball at first. Orange ball with an orange ice cream cone tail coming to a point. Out of car it had turned into just a large orange ball moving rapidly North North East. Looked like a jet plane at night except light size was much bigger, at least 5 times bigger, and orange like a camp fire flame. Went behind clouds. At first sight in the car I though it might be a hot air balloon. Out of car I thought it might be a rocket or a jet plane on fire because it was moving so fast. Shrunk quickly in size but not in intensity. No sound. Neighbors weren't out so no one around me had noticed.
