Viewed 6 circular reddish orange lights rising from ground level to very high altitude
At about 21:00 hours I was sitting on my 12th floor balcony which faces northeast. From there I can view the Intracoastal Waterway, the Atlantic Ocean and the rear of a line of homes in a town called Golden Beach. In order of my view I see the the intracoastal first, then the homes and then the ocean.
From the rear of the homes I saw, rising from ground level a series of 6 large circular lights that were reddish orange in color. The lights rose in time intervals of a few minutes between each, except for 1 instance in which 2 lights rose simultaneously.
At first the lights rose straight up and then they angled upward at about a 45 degree angle. They rose extremely high, appearing to me to be the height of the many Jets I see nightly, as I live near the Fort Lauderdale airport, and eventually they became the size of stars and then faded from view.
I contacted the Golden Beach police to inquire if they had any reports of Chinese Lanterns and they said they did not have any reports.

1. Peter, I did some online research on Chinese Lanterns and after reflection I do not think the rate of speed with which the objects rose was commensurate with a balloon type object. The objects I saw rose rather quickly like a plane gaining altitude, but of course the objects I saw were definitely not planes.

In the light of day I can see clearly where the lights originated from . The intracoastal waterway which is in front of the homes In Golden Beach from my viewpoint.
