It was around 9:30 PM and I was sitting in my front yard talking to a friend. Then I look over to my right facing North, and I though I had seen a meteor. But, at a second glance I noticed that the object was too low to the surface to be a meteor. What I saw was an aircraft that was disintegrating with burning fire coming from the rear with smoke trail as if it was heading for the ground to crash. The object then went out of view and into the horizon. But, it looked as if it was going to touch ground.
