Last night around 11pm Arizona time I saw the strangest thing. At first I thought it was a bright star but it was orange. I then assumed it was an airplane but it wasn't moving. Then as I was watching it a piece of it fell from it and it glowed orange until about half way to the Earth. I ran inside and got my husband to see if he could figure out what it was and then once again after watching it a couple seconds another piece came off it and stopping glowing ornage about half way to Earth. I checked the news this morning and of course nothing. My husband said maybe a hot air balloon caught on fire but I don't think they go up at night do they? It was a very cloudy night and the glow came from in front of the clouds so I know it wasn't very high in the sky. Any ideas?
