object went verticalThere was a flash of light and, A ball of flames for about a second. And dissappared straight up into the air.This occured for about thirty seconds.We were amazed because itwas very bright.((NUFORC Note: We have spoken with this witness and another witness who was with him at the time. We feel they are credible witnesses, and that the object and event that they describe may not have been the dramatic meteor (??) that occurred over Colorado some 15 minutes later. PD))
