A fireball swooped down over my friends and mines heads (50ft up) and ascended into the horizon opposite the one it came from.I walked down to my friends house late at night. I had not noticed it until briefly after I noticed my friend was waiting for me in his driveway. It was apparant that the ufo had been coming closer and descending for quite some time. While directly above us only a few seconds after the initial sighting, I could see that it was indeed burning bright like the sun, with no external source of energy attatched to it, unless the ring of light around it had something to do with it. My rushed to wake his dad up, by the time he made it outside it was half-way to looking like a star over the horizon, however he stared in awe, stating that it was the 3rd he had seen. It never made even the slightest sound. I took a photo with my cell phone but it looks like a streak of light.
