Bright flickering orange lights seen on a clear night sky

I was driving home on that day and was about to reach my house when I looked up at the sky and saw this series of bright flickering orange lights. I wanted to stop and take a longer look but I couldn't do so as I was on the highway. I continued driving and a few minutes later I turned into my housing estate and as I reached the guard house entrance, I asked one of the security guards if he had also saw the lights (All of them were gazing at the sky and talking excitedly among themselves). He said yes and I took the opportunity to stop by the roadside to take a longer look at the lights.

As I had described earlier, there were probably 10 to 20 bright flickering orange lights. Each one was roughly the size of a rice bowl and they were scattered across the clear night sky. After not more than 4 minutes, these lights began fading away one by one.
