Sighting Details
I was sitting in my lounge chair in front of the large windowed patio doorsin my living room. The entire room was dark so that I could see outside better. There were some clouds in the sky but they were thin. The mooon was bright so not many stars were visible but I could make out a few. I seen just above the horizon what looked like a fireball traveling in a southeast direction and gaining altitude. It ascended like an airplane taking flight only it moved faster. While it was ascending and moving southeast it also pulsated white and reddish-yellow light. It seemed to slow a little then changed from the white, reddish yellow light to a white bluish color then suddenly it shot straight up out of site almost instantly. I was shocked because I thought it was an airplane at first but then when the fireball shot straight up I got up and looked out the door and up into the sky to see if I could see it higher in the sky. I searched the sky for at least a minute but then decided at the speed it ascended I wasn't going to find it. I really need to keep a camera on me at all times. I would love to have a picture of the things I see in the sky.
