NARRATIVE

A large orange fireball shot down at a 45 like degree angle from the northwest.  It had no noise and just before it was to strike the ground it stopped dead in the night sky. 
The shape now grew dim orange in color from the entry and just sat there a second.  Then it slowly like floated down to the ground and looks like it landed in the hills next to TRW plant in San Juan Capistrano.  
The TRW plant was weekly/night testing the Saturn 5 rocket engines during those days. The testing making the whole area roar at night when in use. 
It was funny they tested at night around 900pm and the object landed about the same time in the evening. 
They were not testing the night of my sighting. 
This happend at the same time Rex Heflin in Santa Ana took day pictures of a UFO over the Tustin Marine Helicopter Base. Was there a link???  I don't know but it sure drives me crazy to this day. 
Have never seen anything close to what I saw back in the good old days.
