It apeared to be really close although it probably wasn't, like it could be heading for the ground not too far away. It was very detailed. We could see it burning and bits of fire/sparks flying from it as it was moving.

It was like a ball of fire. We could see it burning and fragments of fire/sparks coming. We were in a vehicle and as we drove further on we seen what looked like an orange glow on the horizon for brief moment.
