Initial data
I'm driving home past the train station. I saw the ball of light rise up, move horizontally for about 100 yards (90 m), then move unsteadily in a zigzag, until finally it rises straight up, and the fire "goes away" and disappears.
Me and my husband were coming home from a party (I wasn't drinking!). As we passed parallel to the station, I noticed a ball of light rising. I thought it might be a flash or something, and then when it was moving horizontally, almost in line with the fly connecting the station to the main part of the city, I told my husband that it must be a bicycle or someone walking on the bridge.
I slowed down, and then it became obvious that the light was over the bridge and much higher than it seemed at first. the light (the size of a soccer ball relative to us on the ground) then began to move jerkily in a zigzag pattern in a northeasterly direction for another 600 yards (540 m) (approximately), then rose faster and disappeared.
At this point, the fire "fell" far from the base of the ball in a small amount, it just quieted down for a second before disappearing.

Myself and my husband were coming home from a party (i had not been drinking!) as we passed parallel to the station i noticed a ball of light rising up. I thought this might be a flare or something similar, then as it moved horizontally, almost in line with the fly over connecting the station to the main side of town , i said to my husband it must be a bike or someone walking across the bridge. I Slowed right down and then it became apparent that the light was above the bridge and much higher than it had first appeared. the light (about the size of a football in relation to us on the ground) then started zigzagging jerkily in a north easterly direction for a further 600 yards (approx) then rose more quickly and disappeared .
