Orange, slow moving, fireballs - south east of savannah nuclear plant
Within 5 minutes of each other, saw two orange fireballs, one on north horizon proceeding east, and one in south at approx 40 degrees above horizon proceeding west.
Both were quite slow compared to meteorites. transit time was 6 seconds for first one, 3 seconds for second, both covered approx ten degrees of sky. both were visible as small disks rather than pinpoints of light.
Observer is long time meteor watcher & amateur astronomer.
