12 balls of fire orange light flying from East to West
At approximately 9:30 pm eastern time I observed the first of about 12 balls of orange light flying slowly through the sky. I am located in Penfield, NY, a suburb of Rochester, NY. The lights made no sound of any kind. They were completely silent.
The first appeared alone moving from the east to west and about 45 degrees above the horizon. It continued to ascend but moving in an arc so that as it rose it also moved further from us. The light didn’t fade out completely it just kind of turned off. Immediately after witnessing the first one, 5-6 more arrived over the tree line in the exact place where the first was seen and followed the same path as the first. They seemed to move back and forth with each as they flew. Meaning that the distance between each ball of light was never constant.
Each ball of light did not blink as an airplane would. It also did not have multiple lights as an airplane. These were solid fire orange lights.
After this group flicked out. Another group of 4 came across following the same pattern. While they were flying I ran to get my camera but upon my return they were too far away and again seemed to just turn off.
About 3 minutes after another lone light appeared and followed the same pattern and turned out as it went high into the night sky.
Each of these lights did not move fast, they did not leave a trail of light. They flew in some sort of formation. I would guess that it took about 30-45 seconds for each group to make their flight across the sky.
This occurrence was observed by myself, my wife and our 2 children who are 6 and 8.
((NUFORC Note: We spoke with this witness via telephone on two occasions, and he seemed to us to be quite objective and credible. We suspect that he is a very good witness. PD))
