Four large orange spherical objects with a diamond shape "halo" in long arc overhead.
Four objects were spotted overhead in sequence. They faded as they moved from NW to SE and SW. The objects were large and orange, larger than the space station appears. They looked like large meteors, but did not follow typical trajectory. One was followed by a small object that did look like a meteor. The last object was particularly strange as we saw it through the tree line near the horizon and it then traveled overhead. We have video of the fourth one, but it is shaky due to the zoom. The entire event took about 5 minutes.
The event occurred during a back yard gathering. The witnesses (about a dozen) were mostly college professors and school teachers. The object appeared to be a sphere surrounded by diamond. Oddly, the sphere is clearly brighter on the back edge of its directions, contrary to what one would expect from atmospheric entry. This was also the north side of the sphere two hours after sunset and was clear even at the western horizon, ruling out solar reflection.
I am not suggesting that this is extraterrestrial, we simply cannot determine what it is.
