Description: My boss and I were standing outside work (Sweetbay Supermarket). We were talking to each other walking out to the car when all of a sudden I saw a bright orange light traveling from south to southeast. We saw the object for about 4 to 5 minutes. For 4 of those minutes it had a large orange flame shooting from it almost like a space shuttle taking off, but instead of going vertical it was horizontal. After about 4 minutes the flame went out and it was just a little orange dot until it eventually disappeared.

Comments: A similar object was seen at Plantation, Florida on the same date at 2:40 AM EDT. Plantation is about 175 Miles to the southeast of Plant City. Click here to read about this sighting.
