Around 10 Bright Orange Fireballs Seen Over Irondequoit New York

 

Date:  July 4, 2011

Time:  Between 10:45 and 11:00 p.m.

 

Date is 07/04/2011, time is between 10:45-11:00 p.m., and the exact place is in Irondequoit, NY. I was with family and friends and we just got done watching the fireworks and decided to sit down outside in the backyard and chat.

 

I seen one orange object floating in the sky traveling quite fast coming from the west and traveling to the east. I didn't think anything of it, and thought that it was something to do with the fireworks or even possibly a plane. A few minutes later I seen 3 more orange balls traveling the same speed, they were lined up one after thee other, a bit of a distance apart and were also traveling to the east.

 

I was with 5 other people at this time and got there attention and to our amazement we seen a plane fly through the sky at the same exact time and then we knew for sure that this was no plane. My brother said they could have been Chinese lanterns, but seeing how fast these orange balls were going, each following the same direction and path, and moving at various speeds.

 

We counted the Chinese lantern idea out. The objects were orange in color, round in shape, looked like balls of fire gliding through the sky. After seeing about 3 more sets of the orange balls follow the same path within a few minutes in between each set we decided one person would Google it and 2 other people got out telescopes.

 

My brother was assembling the telescope and the balls continued on and then as soon as he had the scope ready to go they all of a sudden stopped. I would say that we seen around 10 of these fireballs in total. If anyone has any ideas what they could be or similar stories please get back to me.
