Sighted on Saturday 26. September 2015
Reported on
Shape: Triangle | Duration: 2-3 minutes
Source:

Triangular orange fireball moved vertical 1/4 mi, then horizontally several miles, until disappearing.I thought I saw fireworks in the distance, but orange fireball kept rising and moved toward me and across the sky, directly overhead from me, and my house and disappeared past the tree line. It appeared to be 1/8-1/4 mi overhead, silent, well-lit orange triangle moving 80-100 mph. I'm a 54 yr. old male.((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.
