Actual Report as Filed by Witness:
A very bright fireball coming low in the sky from the east and then accelerating straight up and then leveled out in a straight path at a moderate speed as if it had a guidance system, lasted about 5 minutes, had a fiery glow the whole time, heading south west and then fading to a red light and then gone, 5 minutes later happened again the same way but trajectory was more south.
Definitely too low to be a jet, it was close enough that me and my 23 yr old son could see the flame flickering and to be exact, it literally passed right under the brightest night star (Venus) before it went to a constant red light then it almost seemed as if it went so far up and out that it disappeared. Thank you for writing back so quickly, i appreciate it.
