When my daughter was months old, like 9 years ago..Like a typical baby woke up in the middle of that night for a diaper change. I lived at the 15th floor at the time .Clear night sky. I was sleeping by window side , wife picked up baby of crib and laid her down on bed next to me. I woke up looking right out the window, to my surprised and odd, there was an orange, red and yellow light outside, the sizes of a basketball, about 30 feet from window . Got off bed and it zoom out of there. I looked at wife and asked her if she saw it, she said yes..I run to balcony to see if it was fireworks or even a flare, Nothing or no one around, it was 3 in the morning though.
In Chile when I was a kid. I remember news reporting a strange object over the mountains, Santiago (the capital ) in founded in a valley , so Andes mountains surround the city.
I stood on street and watched this thing for a bout 5 minutes when it suddenly just shot straight up and disapper . Pretty cool and scary to watch..
