Remarks I was driving at the time ans it felt weird like it was litterly felt like it was like it was close enough to hit the ground. It didn’t look up in th sky. It looked like it fell out of the sky. The size of like a red hot gold ball. And the trail looked kind of like what you would expect from a sparkler. It was a barren middle of nowhere dark road. Weird. Also. I called my friend because I was startled, and she said about a day or two before hand in the same area her husband saw one two and heard a boom .

Remarks I was driving and it appeared in my windshield view, several shades or red with either a yellowish or whitish around. It got smaller and looked like it went out like a candle and it disappeared. I’d say very close to where I was. Like a house or two height. Ot felt like it was really close and maybe even was giving th impression like it was falling to the road or field beside the road.
