I did not see it high in the sky, it looked fairly low like a very small plane would fly. It came straight down. I saw a circle of orange and yellow flames like a ball then it went to a straight line. I heard no sound. I thought this was odd because normally shooting stars or other things like that will go across the sky and this was straight down to the earth.
