Full Description of Event/Sighting: My husband and I were sitting on our front porch at 8:43pm last night and a round ball of fire floated in a straight line from the back of our house not too high over our heads. It was about the height and speed a helicopter would fly. There was complete silence. We were the only people outside. He knocked on the window for my 14 year old son who then came out as well.

It flew in a straight line over the street and over the neighbors house, it never went any higher or lower in altitude and it was moving pretty slow. As it got further away, my son who is 14 said it curved sped up and then disappeared. We are not a family of believers in UFO's or aliens so this was pretty shocking.

Online people try to pass these off as Chinese lanterns, but those tend to float or hover and are usually in multiples. This was alone and did not hover or stay still at all. It did not go up or down, just straight. We went inside and 15 minutes later we heard a helicopter.

We went outside and it was flying over our house and circling in the area in which the ball came. This happened 2 more times. They never flew in the direction the ball went as far as I saw. Coincidence? I just don't know.
