Five orange orbs ascend quickly into the sky over Chattanooga

While traveling South on I-75 South, I noticed five large orange orbs which appeared to shoot upward into the sky. I was sitting in the front passenger seat while watching the sky, we were traveling about 75 miles an hour when I noticed them. They appeared to be just outside of Chattanooga to the South of the city. Due to being on a road trip, the driver and I had no time to stop and watch them, longer than they were plainly visible from the vehicle. We did see fireworks going off about ten minutes prior to the event, however, given our speed and ground covered, the orbs were not in the same vicinity as the fireworks. I called a friend to file this report. (The report was dictated in real time via phone call)
