Appearance / Description of Object(s)

It looked like a fire ball. I would estimate that it was about the size of a mid sized plane, because we originally thought that it was a plane on fire. As would be the case with a fire ball, there was a tail of fire behind it, but there was no smoke and no sound.

Size of Object(s)

Relative size: an inch, inch and a half...actual size: about the size of a mid sized plane

Description of Area / Surroundings

It was a typical urban area...we were leaving a grocery store at a busy corner in the city. Because it was so late, the corner wasn't busy at the time, but during the day it's a high traffic area. There's nothing special about the area; no military bases or power plants.

Full Description & Details

A fellow co-worker and I had gotten off of work. We were going to pick some things up from the grocery store and head to his house. As we left the grocery store parking lot we noticed something in the sky overhead. It looked to be a plane on fire...It struck us as strange that we heard no sirens and saw no rushing police or emergency vehicles as the plane was visibly on fire and flying so low that we were sure it would be crashing down nearby. Because of the situation we checked the clock in the car...I don't remember the time but it was probably in the eleven o'clock hour.

The next day a couple of friends of mine who had come back from Wichita, Kansas that morning were to pick me up. As you don't see a plane going down every day, I told them about the night before. Which is when they told me that they had seen the same object in the sky as they entered Wichita. To have as much information as possible, if it was needed for any reason by the authorities, my friends too had checked the clock in their car...it was only two minutes after my co-worker and I had seen the object over Overland Park some 300 miles away.

There's no way a plane could have traveled that quickly, on fire or not. Also, it seemed to us that the plane was going down quickly as it traveled South...If it were a plane, it never would have made it to Wichita...It wouldn't have even made it half way to Wichita.

We called a few newspapers, but nothing was reported by anyone.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

Obviously I originally thought it was a plane going down, but when I found out how quickly and how far it traveled, that was obviously strange. Then, when there were no reports of a plane going down, I realized that it was definately not something normal.
