Shape of Objects: Bright object with large flame above it.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: As we walked to our cars parting ways, an extremely bright-orange/red object caught my eye in the night sky. I paused to make sure I wasn't looking at an airplane about to crash or some kind of lantern or "weather balloon".

The object was a bright red/orange light with an even brighter light-an obvious "flame" above it. It traveled slowly across the sky from east to west clear as day and maintained its size and speed. I called the rest of the group to attention and we all stood in the street watching it.

The craft almost seemed like it was aware that we were watching it! I say this because as we all stood in awe saying , what the heck. It began to decelerate right in our line of sight.

It slowed and slowed until it came to a complete stop right in the air, by that point we knew it was not any normal type of aircraft.

The flame eventually dimmed and the bright orange light remained hovering until it slowly disappeared. From start to finish-the encounter lasted about 5 minutes. Thank you.
