| Remarks | My uncle and I witnessed a brilliant, orange fireball streak across the night sky in Oakland California last night. The light appeared stationary at first, but then began to accelerate with great velocity horizontally across the sky. The orange fireball expanded as it\'s speed increased. Even more odd, it then turned a deep baby blue before breaking up into smaller pieces and disappearing. Truly amazing. |
