Witness Testimony

"Family was exiting resturant on Main street in Parsons Kansas at approximately 21:30 hours local when 5yo ask "whats that and pointed up to eastern sky.Conditions were dusk, several thunderstorms in area to northeast and to south but only upper level clouds in our area. During previous flights that day we had light cloud layer from 10000ft and up with alot of haze.Three of us witnessed a bright firball,orange/yellow in color and modulating intensity traveling from south to north on what appeared a level or nearly level course.If it were an aircraft on fire I would estimate above FL10 and 200 or less knots, located close to Kansas/Missouri border. We lost sight because of buildings.Possibly a meteor that was much higher and way further east in the upper strata then either one of us though but didn't look like it."
