I had just pulled into my driveway and I saw this light going by and I thought maybe it was a plane but instead of the flashing red beacon light it was solid yellow which I thought was odd. I\'d never seen anything like it so I kept watching it. It seemed like it went forever. Then it started getting bigger and bigger and then blew out and was gone. I can\'t decide if I saw red at the very end or if I am imagining that. Please let me know if you know what I saw last night. Thanks!

I don\'t know if it qualifies as a \"flash\" but what I saw looked like it \"blew up\". It got real big at the end and was gone.
