Full Description & Details

Witnessed what appeared to be a large unidentified object on fire rise up in the North East Horizon, dark to light color orange and yellow flickering; object appeared to be engulfed in flames. At first it was assumed to be burning debris such as a light paper or fabric material being made airborne by heat from a fire on the ground, however the object then began to gain altitude traveling horizontally across the eastern horizon for about 4 minutes before it began to gain altitude to the point where it was no longer visible in the south east.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

Helicopter known to be in the area however it is identified with colored marker lights which do not match the unidentified object.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I fall into the "see it to believe it" group. I must see physical evidence first hand and preferably with others as group witnesses to give the traditional view of UFO's any merit. I don't believe this sighting was of an Unidentified aircraft operated by extra terrestrials, I'm assuming it was an asteroid burning in the atmosphere.
