Experience Level
1/5
Remarks
It moved slowly enough for me to call out to my husband who then looked up and we watched it together until the roof of our house obscured the view. The intensity of the fire did not fade while we watched. It was not a ball shape but seemed to be two pieces of fire attached together.
