2022-07-16 - Katy, TX - Fireball

Orange fireball seen moving upward from low position then drifting off into the air. Video evidence.

I was on my balcony looking up at the moon at 2:50 July 16, 2022. As I was looking out into the sky I noticed an orange object floating up behind a tree. I kept expecting it to fall and when I could see that it wasn’t I started recording. It looked like a ball of fire (with no smoke). It went straight up then started drifting higher and to the right until it was out of my visual. I then went to the back of my apartments to get a better view since the buildings were blocking and it was out of my visual. As I came back to my balcony looking over the videos I had just taken another fireball came from the same location and I pulled out my phone to record again but to my disappointment I didn’t hit the record button. But the second fireball went the same exact route as the first one I saw. I sat outside for another hour and a half waiting to see if another was going to appear but did not see one after those two.
