Krystle Lord-Keller- My husband and I were walking in Costa Mesa, CA tonight and saw two large balls of fire fly through the sky. They were incredible, one was at 8:52PM and the next one was about ten minutes later. I have seen many shooting stars but this was different, it was sparkling and definetly round in shape, then it fizzled out so beautifully. The first one was more of a golden yellow and the second one was lighter in color but still bright! They were amazing.
