Full Description & Details
Sept. 25, 2010 Anza, CA (our house sits on a mountain at 5000 feet over looking a valley and opposite mountain range- Anza is an hour between Temecula and Palm Desert)
Last night around 9:30-10pm pst, my step-son and I were out watching the stars and he got excited and noticed a "shooting star" he said. I turned to look where he was pointing (NW) and saw what then appeared to be a bright redish comet with a long tail trailing behind. He said when he saw it, it was bright white and almost blinded him (this is when it must have entered our atmosphere), then changing into a comet headed south in the sky. We quickly alerted the rest of the family (3 other pre-teen children and my husband) who came out and witnessed with us, what WASN'T a "shooting star" or "comet". The tail turned into a cloud of smoke as this large bright redish orange fire ball continued to travel south across the horizon. We watched it for a few minutes as it flew south, then it puffed another cloud of smoke and seemed to excellerate leaving a trail of smoke in it's wake and sped up traveling south still. It disapeared, reapeared, continued to fly south across our horizon and after watching it for about 5 min it just vanished. This was intelligently controlled, and AMAZING to see! The distance the large glowing ball traveled was from NW to SW- and had to have covered many, many miles as it crossed our entire horizon looking over the valley.
