A couple were standing near the kiosk. The nearest street lamp began to dim, then turn on and on again, rotating like this until it was reduced to a faint glow. Then, beyond the trees, in the General direction of the light, they saw a bright "ball" rising.

It was Golden in color and appeared to be the size of a Full moon. It's frozen. It began to change color, skimming the spectrum from gold to orange to dark red.

The couple's curiosity led them to drive closer to the balloon, but to their horror, they were unable to get the car to work. Only the headlights were working, and even then only barely, at a low, dim level.

Frightened, they decided to wait in the car until the balloon left. Then small red glowing balls flew out of the larger object, floated forward, and fell behind the trees. Then the balloon lifted slightly and began to move away.

When it disappeared, the street lamp returned to normal operation and the car was able to start. The couple left the scene without even looking in that direction.

Summary:  A couple was parked near a kiosk. The nearest streetlight began acting up, dimming off, then on, and back again, cycling like this until it had diminished to a faint glow. Then, beyond some trees in the general direction of the light, they saw a bright “ball” rise. It was golden colored and the apparent size of the full Moon. It hovered. It began to change colors, sliding through the spectrum from gold to orange to deep red. The couple’s curiosity got them to decide to drive nearer the Ball; but to their consternation, they could not get the car to function. Only the headlights worked, and that just barely, at a low dull level. Frightened now, they decided to wait in the car for the Ball to leave. Then, small, red, glowing balls ejected from the larger object, and sailed forward and dropped down behind the trees. The Ball then rose slightly and began to move away. When it disappeared, the streetlight returned to normal function, and the car was able to be started. The couple left the scene without looking any further into the area.
