This is my second fireball/red-orange orb encounter in the same field as before years prior. The first time I saw it, it seemed as if a fighter jet ripped through the sky maybe 100ft above the ground and road flares were being dropped from the aircraft into the field. I was still a minor, completely sober, but also home alone. I grabbed my keys and hit the road the second it happened. Called it in but I'm sure they thought it was a prank or I was just under the influence.The second fireball/orb was a couple days ago. I was looking at the full moon with my telescope when I noticed one crater lot up like NYC. I live in the sticks, coyotes are one thing but the owls are rare to hear. Anyways after looking at this crater, the coyotes were drawing nearer and the owls start (I can't explain the noise, it was too eerie). Then I hear a splash? A pile of liquid just appears next to me on the cement then evaporated almost instantly. That's when I looked to the east and saw the fire-orb as I wish to call it. Hovering above the tress it lingered to the left then to the right. Bobbed as I was calling my mother over to see it and even though she was in perfect view to see the last 2 seconds of it, she couldn't. It had vanished, before the both of us, but only I could see it. Shortly after, my phone couldn't decide if it wanted to work or not. The yard light (basically a telephone pole light) went out. Then the crickets were chirping as quick as cricketly possible!! I had a hard time sleeping to say the least. This was my 5th or 6th ufo I have seen since 2010.
