I saw two glowing, softball sized objects fly across the road directly in front of my truck.

I was driving early in the morning down Highway 903, through a rural area heading towards LaGrange and saw an object moving incredibly fast fly right across the road in front of my truck. It was moving so quickly that I wasn't sure I had seen anything at all (maybe my imagination ?) until another one flew in front of my truck. This one I saw as kind of a still picture for an instant: they were about the size of a softball and had an orange glow. They were flying parallel to the ground at about three feet because I remember thinking how glad I was that they didn't hit the little Isuzu truck because they were going so fast that they would have went clean through both doors and me. I always thought they were meteors and maybe they were, but wouldn't they be falling towards the ground instead of moving parallel ? Of course, I only saw them for a split second so maybe they were.
