On night of 27 July 48, at 2200 hours observer saw object which resembled a huge ball in the sky. It came from the south and was headed north traveling at speed of jet planes which often fly over observer's house. Object trailed a bright red tail of fire and traveled in a straight line. There was some lightning and thunder at the time, but some observer thought the object something entirely foreign. No noise could be heard. Object only seen for three seconds.
