2012-07-06 - Kernersville, NC - Fireball

Two flickering fireballs moved across the sky, changing speed and direction.

Two flickering fireballs moved across unobstructed view, 8 acre, field. There was no noise at all. They were moving pretty fast when they came across the tree line, heading east from Winston-Salem, right towards us. They slowed down as the came across the field. Then they changed direction completely, sped up, and headed north until we couldn’t see them anymore. Then another, third one, came in almost the same pattern, finally heading off to the north. It looked like it was 1500 ft off the ground and moved parallel to the ground until it headed off to the north which it started gaining elevation and speed. The light from it looked kind of like an orange flare. There was no smoke or trail though. I would estimate that it travelled several miles before we lost sight of it. We have never seen anything like it.
