two stationary orange fireballs
We were driving eastbound on M-32 and saw two orange fireballs suspended in the sky to the south. Cannot tell how far away they were, but they were only about 10-20 degrees above the horizon. They stood still for about 10 minutes while we watched. Then they gradually (over about 5 seconds) "extinguished" themselves. Prior to extinguishing, we noticed a smaller fire ball (about half the size) descend downward below one of the two, as if suspended by a wire. It descended to the ground in about a minute. Two possible explanations: there are some natural gas wells in the vicinity, however I am not aware of any flare stacks. We have driven this road numerous times and have never seen any flares. Another possible explanation: there is a air national guard air-base approximately 40 miles to the south, which might have been involved with nightime aerial military maneuvers
