6 Fireballs with long tails seen over the Hawaiian Islands. Watched for 10 seconds.
While standing on our deck, I saw bright lights in the sky, and at first thought it was a very low flying plane, but then, it showed tails behind the ball. Coming from the South to the North and kept splitting into another ball with a long tail. Flew all the way behind the mountain range until we could no longer see it.
The fire ball and tail seemed to be bright yellow/white in color, They flew below the clouds where we could see it very easy and bright.
