4 flashing strobe-like objects move rapidly across the nite skyline and disappear into a light forming a many colored fast moving ob

My husband and I had rented an oceanfront condo for a 2 week vacation on Satellite Beach. Every nite we went on the balcony,3rd floor of the 3 storey building, to look at the moonrise and nite sky. My husband was on the balcony and as soon as I joined him, I looked out and saw a flashing lite off to my left coming off the point at Cape Canaveral which was about 10:00 with due East being 12:00 and about 30-40 degrees above the horizon. I of course assumed it was a plane but immediately noticed that the light was flashing more like a strobe lite. I was amazed at its speed, faster than any aircraft but slower than if it had been a meteorite; it also had a red flashing strobe light appearance simultaneously with the bright white strobe flashing.I ran downstairs to watch it at ground level. From the time I spotted the light, ran downstairs, and saw it again, it had moved across the horizon to where the moonrise had been the previous nite, approx at 2:30 with 12:00 being due East, and then was out of site. My husband had stayed on the 3rd floor and saw what I had seen and I rejoined him.

I then spotted another lite, identical to the first and starting in the same location. There were 2 more following behind it for a total of 4 including the first one. The subsequent three followed the exact path across the horizon with the same incredible speed and flashing bright white, red and occasional green strobe-like lights. Then there appeared in the south east of the horizon an orange glowing orb and the 3 rapidly moving flashing objects disappeared into the glowing orb. The orb then faded and an object of numerous colors came from this area and sped off at a high speed in a westerly projectory over the coastline and disappeared. My hushband pointed out that the lights seen resembled a frequency of brightness and color as seen from gaseous ionization.

Satellite Beach is maybe 15 miles South of Cape Canaveral; I first saw the flashing objects off of the Cape. Three days later, on April 20th at 4:27pm, NASA launched an Atlas rocket, which we also saw from our condo location.
