Witness Testimony

" Ball of fire/ energy crossing sky from East to West at Lake Vermilion, MN. I was sitting near cabin and thought I was seeing a fire fly at first, then I realized it was an orange ball of fire crossing the sky behind the trees, when it came into an open area I was able to take a few photos of it, but they didn’t turn out as well as I thought they would. It moved about the speed of a small airplane and stayed on a direct course going east to west.The object was round and looked like a fiery very large atom. "
