Panorama City, CA

It looked like a flame had shot up into the sky with various beautiful vibrant colors then after it went up high from the ground it turned into a steady vibrant colored ball in the sky then the object started coming back down camouflaging like the sky this time looking like a huge shadow in the shape of a large disk that looked like a darker color of the sky but waves of vibrant colors surrounded it not letting it fully camouflage. Object then continued to circle around in the sky and eventually flying out of sight .
