I noticed numerous circular objects surrounded by lights [magenta in color] in the sky. They moved and hovered like helicopters.
To Whom It May Concern: On Saturday, April 7, 2012, at approximately 10:15 P.M. EST, I witnessed objects that quickly appeared, it seems, out of nowhere. My first reaction was, "Are we getting attacked?" However, I didn't hear anything. Then, the objects slowed down. They were circular and surrounded by lights, which looked like magenta. Then, one by one, groups of them made a turn and disappeared. The picture I finally took are what I call "the stragglers." By the time I took a picture, there were only a few left. There were cars on the road. I put the window down and pointed to the sky. Not sure if anyone really looked up. I can only surmise that I am not the only one who saw the objects. They really were not that high in the sky.
The following is what I submitted via website to Orlando International Airport in April 9, 2012: I was at Lake Buena Vista last night (Saturday, April 7). Around 10:15 P.M., I noticed numerous things in the air. They moved and hovered like helicopters. I'm wondering what was happening. Please advise. Thank you for your attention.

I expect these were lights, fireworks, or some similar part of one of the theme park closing shows.

Below is a picture I took at 10:24 p.m. on April 7, which I have also sent to ((male name deleted)). It certainly wasn't fireworks or a light show. I'm sure others saw this also. I'm not sure what to make of it, and am very curious. There were many more, but by the time I got my camera, they had "flown" away.
Thank you.
