By UFO I mean Unidentified Falling Object. This happened years ago and I never found out what it was so if anyone else saw this or remembers hearing about it please answer.I don't remember exactly what year this was but it was between 2000 - 03 I would say. I was at Harbour Front watching the Symphony of Fire fireworks display and happened to look to my left toward the islands and up in the sky was a long trailing fireball. It was pretty big by night sky standards and moving very slowly eastward or south eastward. It's colour was consistent with something on fire (orange-red-yellowish) and lasted about a minute before it dimmed out.My first thought was meteorite. But it was moving much more slowly than a conventional "shooting star" and persisted for a relatively long time. My second thought was that it was a falling satellite but I can't seem to find any evidence of this online. A few others seemed to be looking at it but everyone else was too focused on the fireworks to notice.Btw, for the record... what I saw was not a part of the fireworks display going on as this object was much farther away.

That's odd...I remember long, long ago, when I was a kid, I looked out my window and saw a single shooting star. Except, this star was huge! Like a fireball, kind of what you mentioned.The next day, one tree, one single tree in this entire forest burned down. (My house is built next to a ravine)It's a mystery I've never been able to solve since. :P It does suspiciously sound like the kind of thing you saw, so I'll stick around and see what others think too.
