Time: Around 9:30 - 10:00 p.m.
Sept. 25, 2010 Anza, CA (our house sits on a mountain at 5,000 feet over looking a valley and opposite mountain range, Anza is an hour between Temecula and Palm Desert)
Last night around 9:30-10:00pm PST, my step-son and I were out watching the stars and he got excited and noticed a "shooting star" he said. It was so bright he said it hurt his eyes. I turned to look where he was pointing (NW) and saw what then appeared to be a bright reddish comet with a long tail trailing behind traveling south (left parallel to the horizon line).
He said when he saw it, it was bright white and almost blinded him (this, I assume, is when it must have entered our atmosphere), then changing into what looked like a bright red comet with a blazing trail, 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 reddish orange fire ball continued to travel south across the horizon, leaving a white cloud in it's trail.
We watched it for a few minutes as it flew south, then it puffed another cloud of smoke and seemed to accelerate leaving a trail of smoke in it's wake again and sped up traveling south still. It disappeared, reappeared, continued to fly south across our horizon and after watching it for about 5-8 minutes, 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. I wish I would have grabbed a video camera, but we were all just standing there in awe. I am an Executive Assistant and my husband is a (witnesses job title removed for privacy) LA. Our 4 children also witnessed it ages 12-15. Many blessings.
