I'm 34 and have never seen something like this. I've seen little ones coming out of the sky and lasted like 2 seconds but not this one. Myself and 3 other guys were out side and couldn't help but see this object with bright yellow and orange in color trail that lasted for like 30 seconds or so. We were out starting are vehicles before we left work and gathered to have a cigarette and seen this. It reminded me like seeing a plain with an engine fire in the night sky. I wish I had my phone ready but was so amazed and we all tried to figure this one out. If you need more info call me.
