| Remarks | There was a vibrant bright red flame with yellow mixed in, following an object with a lit up bright periphery. Both object and flame went easterly (and east of I-15) and disappeared from my view where I am surrounded by a hill and couldn\'t follow it anymore.. It was lower in the horizon yet arching, in comparison to the military jets I always view getting ready to land west of I-15. |
