BRIEF SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS Various observers around the area reported a bright round shaped object red in color slowly travel toward the west. One witness said it looked like the object was on fire Another witness said the object was more of a yellow color than a red. The object slowly rose from the ground or at an low altitude and traveled toward the west. One witness said that the object looked like it burnt up above the horizon.
