Strange fast moving orange lights in the sky that did not function like airplanes.

The first time I went out into the backyard was to do a chore for my mother. Then I saw a light high in the sky appear out of nowhere. And right afterwards, like 2 seconds, another one appeared. And then I called my Mom and my brother and told them to get their phones and then another one appeared.

We didn’t get our phones in time and then as they went into the distance, they vanished – disappeared. But they flickered out before completely disappearing.

A little while later, from the opposite direction from where the other ones came from, a smaller white one fly over and I didn’t see it vanish but it flew past where we could see (buildings got in the way).

The first three were a bright orange, They were circular with a big circle of light on the inside. The smaller circle in the middle gave off the most light. (My Mom describes them as bright arcs with a very bright middle circular light in the middle.) After the first 4 passed, we all went inside thinking no more would come. But then my Mom reminded me to finish the chore I went out there for, I went and saw that two more appeared out of nowhere as they did before.

So, I ran inside and got my phone and took a video of what I saw.

This happened around 9:33pm on Saturday, June 23rd, 2013. Oh, and our upstairs neighbor saw the same lights while coming home from the store earlier than we did. Then he caught the tail end of what we saw when he went into his apartment upstairs.
