>> MESSAGE SUBJECT: fire ball in night sky Aug 2, 2009
>> MESSAGE: Hello, I am wondering if you had any reports of something  
>> in the Northern Ontario Sky at about 10 pm on Aug 2, 2009.
>>
>>
>>
>> We were watching an outside concert in Whitefish, about 1 hour west  
>> of Sudbury.  We saw a large orange ball in the sky.  It was  
>> traveling north east.  It was too low I think for a Satellite, it  
>> looked as if it were on fire, had a large orange aura around it,  
>> but did not leave a smoke or vapor trail.
>>
>>
>>
>> Would you have any ideal what that would have been?  I`d say about  
>> 30 people saw it that night.
>>
>>
>>
>> Could you let me know please, I am an active sky watcher myself and  
>> am very curious what that would have been?
>>
>>
>>
>> Thank you so much, I`m not sure if you would handle these kinds on  
>> inquires but I`m not sure who to ask about this.  There were no  
>> reports in our local paper of any incident.
