Three bright orange orbs, equal distance from each other, moved slowly in a row, then stopped for several seconds before vanishing.
My friend and I were returning home about 9:20pm, she driving, when I saw three very bright, seemingly round in shape, orange orbs moving in a row, not rapidly, not slowly, (about the speed of a small aircraft). I called out and my friend looked also.
As I watched the three (about as far apart as the visual length of the big dipper) they stopped, simultaneously, and remained perfectly still for several seconds. Before we could find a place to park and get out of the car to watch them more closely, they had vanished.
My friend and I both have Masters level education as psychotherapists. I am now retired.
I enjoy studying the night sky and have been interested in ufology and extraterrestrials, although I am no expert.
