Glowing Orange/Red lights - Central NY
Approximately 930pm one of my sons went to a second floor window facing south and said he saw two lights. Thinking they were stars or planes (the Syracuse airport and NY National Guard base is about 5 miles south) I went to the window and saw two large glowing orange/red orbs heading very slowly north. After a minute or two they I noticed a very faint orb much higher than the other two. The orbs then appeared to stop and rise slowly, fading out within the next couple of minutes.
Altitude was hard to judge but a guess would be about 2000-3000 feet with the third much higher. The objects made no noise detectible from our location. They could have been chinese lanterns or similar however the timing of fading out and differing altitudes and brightness when they we no longer visible didnt seem random.
I really dont know what they were but they were observed by my wife, 2 children (10 & 8) and myself and I can saw were the strangest thing Ive seen in the sky.
