Welland (Canada), ON

Sighted on Wednesday 24. July 2013

Shape: Fireball | Duration: 2 minutes

Orange fireball with triangular frame flew directly overhead, then sped away at extreme speedI was driving my car on Thorold Road in Welland travelling east, between Rice Road and Centennial Drive. As I passed Centennial High School on my left, I noticed a large orange object in the northern sky. As the object approached my position, it looked like a sphere with flames emanating from the top of it. It was the orange colour of fire. I stopped my car, picked up my iPhone from the centre console and exited the vehicle.I was out of the car when the object flew directly overhead. It was the size of a single engine plane, approximately 400 feet in altitude, travelling at a leisurely pace and no sound was heard. I saw a sphere surrounded by a triangular frame. The sphere was orange, and the triangular frame surrounding the sphere was brownish red in colour. As the object continued on a southerly heading, I was able to take 2 photos with my camera phone. I have attached them to this report. However, they are not of high quality. I have also provided a sketch of what the object looked like when it was directly above me.After taking the second photo, the object picked up speed very quickly, and within 2 seconds was out of visual range entirely. I believe that it sped away, not burning out or disappearing.
