I was in the car with my parents. A ball of what looked to be fire was rolling in a completely horizontal path across the absolutely cloudless sky. The movement was so slow and even I have not seen anything to compare the object(?)with. I was, however, pretty young so it was dismissed by my parents at the beginning of an eight-hour road trip. I would appreciate knowing what I had seen or other similar views. P.S. Was absolutely NOT ball lightning.
