Witness Testimony

"First observed driving, appearing very low to the ground (between 100-350 feet). Moved at a steady speed in one direction. As the object moved, the farther away it travelled, the higher in elevation it appeared. UFO looked as if it was an orange ball ablaze with orange/yellow/red colors. Appeared to have a clothe-like object covering it. Seen on the corner of Willowdale and Stone road. Disappeared behind a line of trees after I drove north on Willowdale (followed the UFO with my vehicle) and moved 250 feet north to attempt to follow the object. Once in the clearing, UFO disappeared and could not identify UFO. "
