The forest fire in the area didn't satisfy what I saw -- it made me yell out loud lol. This makes much more sense. The smoke was so terrible in the area I think it definitely gave it a different color hue.

I was near a large forest fire and though maybe a tree exploded in the far distance on a mountain. It was very smoky and may have made it look more orange. I told my friend I saw a weird fireball last night flash. It scared me that maybe a fire plane had crashed.
