Remarks
Looked like a smoke or a spray coming from the round orange light. It looked like it was illuminated by the light coming out from the back of the orange fireball. It curved down like a fan while the fireball continued to move and at some point the "fan" extended a narrow "tail" behind and below it. The tail had a blueish color to it, while the "fan" part was white.
