Three friends and I went to Montauk for the weekend of July 4, 2011. We arrived on the evening of Friday 1 July around 21: 00 and checked into our motel - daunt's albatross. 

We called a taxi to go to dinner in the city, and had to wait about 15 minutes for it to arrive. it was during these 15 minutes that the observation occurred. we stood on the road in the dark and admired the sky and all the stars we could see. Then, suddenly, a fireball appeared, ripping the sky above us. 

We all turned to each other and asked if everyone was seeing the same thing, which we confirmed. the fireball just hovered in the dark night sky like a flame for a couple of minutes. 

I don't remember if we took the picture or not, but I don't have it anymore, even if we did. after a couple of minutes of conversation, the fireball quickly disappeared into the night sky.

We searched the news for reports of explosions or any other things to explain what we saw, but we didn't find it. We discussed how crazy what we saw was, and everyone agreed that it was unlike anything we had ever seen before.
