It seemed to be very close to my location. First seen it about 2 inches above the horizon( there is a two story house in the foreground, it appeared about twice the height of the house) and descended in a downward motion.Moving right to left it only went about the distance of one house to the left. The first ball was bright white with a trail that was long and thin with a second bright white ball directly behind the trail which was about 1/3 the size of the first . The second ball seemed to glow bight like a flash as it went below the tree line.
