"Appearing as a firey ball w a conical sphere, brightest at the front and tapering off to the rear. Brilliantly bright against the predawn sky. My huband and I both observed this as we sat on our back patio having coffee before sunrise. We have a clear view of the horizon to the northwest and north, and so saw the ball's origination point as it appeared more west and streaked eastward.

It reminded me of something being thrown into view as from behind a curtain. It streaked across and then down across our field of view. As it moved east we lost sight of it due to buildings. Spectacular and amazing!"
