a fireball came from the sky.

i was a boy of 13 years old, i was with my father and another man on a hunting trip at night. we walk across the plain, the mountain is to the north, we go north and look around the area to find birds.

i look at the mountains and see a very small light coming down from the top of the mountain. I talk to my Father and another father saw it and another said it was a plane but my father said no. i'm not saying it was a star this time, but none of it was, this thing came like a bus slowing down and becoming bigger and redder than fire with a tail of fire. 

This thing was as big as a house and was 400m away. my father took me by the neck so i could see it more and i could see it. we didn't hear a sound.
