Witness Account

I was sitting on my 2nd story back porch facing south at 1:50AM when a large fireball erupted up and over the hill and silently billowed out colorful flames. They were blue, orange, and pink- very vibrant with a smoky trail. It then changed to a horizontal trajectory and faded into an orange orb in a vertical column if light with a faint orange trail. It then slowly and silently floated from southwest to southeast of my location, taking a curved path across the valley
