My son and I were walking our dog. We were walking in a Southerly direction. I looked into the sky and towards at Moon. I then saw a shiny orange colored craft that became metallic orange / red. The craft was oval in shape. There was no noise and there was not a jet steam. Trajectory was about 75 degrees and rapid. I said something to my son and he observed it too. He said the object / craft was moving so fast he believed it was perhaps a rocket. But again, there was no noise, no jet stream. Also, no observed wings or lights. I checked my FlightRadar24 app and no craft were in the area. I am a retired Cop and Criminal Investigator for a neighboring County. I am 50 years old. My son is 9. Object traveled South (what would be towards South Glens Falls / Moreau area. There is a National Guard base and a local private operated Airport north of us. Again, no activity on the FlightRadar app, no wings, no lights, no jet stream and no noise.

As me and my buddies drove up main st. to work we noticed a bright blue object falling at a rapid speed. The light increased and I noticed a smoke trail behind it. The object seemed to be burning. I had my window rolled down and it flashed and made a very loud boom. Not sure what exactly this is.
