"Bright fiery object in the sky...smaller objects flew up towards it" - North of Dallas

• When: December 29th, 2018
  
• Where: Sanger (North of Dallas)
• What: Bright fiery object

A really bizarre report of a "bright fiery object" changing shapes and then eventually disappearing over a lake in Texas has been submitted to NUFORC (case 144219). Before the UFO mysteriously vanished, "three smaller objects" flew up into it:

We saw a bright fiery object in the sky that changed shape frequently and had smaller objects fly up towards it.

2 of my friends and I were out at lake Ray Roberts in Sanger taking pictures of star trails late at night. The sky was cloudy and pretty dark, but a few minutes later, we looked over the Ray Roberts dam and saw a giant object in the sky. The object in question had a fiery hue and changed form a few times. It would get bigger and brighter and then it would shrink down to nothing and reappear.

It rotated around while it was in view and had around 3 other objects of the same fiery hue fly up to it. After the 3 smaller objects flew up towards it, it vanished.

While we were observing it we attempted to capture images of it. I was unsuccessful as my images were blurry but my 2 other friends managed to capture photo and video of it.

Is it possible that this is mistaken report of ball lighting, versus a UFO? Ball lightning is a rare, but real natural weather phenomenon wherein a literal ball of lightning hovers or moves across the sky. Famous engineer Nikolas Tesla was famous for experimenting with ball lightning.
