Duration: 15 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Orlando, FL, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object

Multiple orange colored lights moving towards downtown Orlando, then ascended upwards and vanished.

At approximately 7:55PM, I noticed what I thought was a commercial aircraft coming towards my house with its wings dramatically tilting from side to side...then eventually rotating clockwise as if it were in a barrel roll. The two distinct lights eventually separated and continued to travel towards the ESE and gaining altitude. Shortly after the lights separated, approximately 12 more lights came over the horizon following the same path. At this point, I grabbed my camera to started taking photos. After the main cluster of lights faded off at a much higher altitude than where they started, two more stray lights came over the horizon and followed the same path. The entire event lasted around 15 minutes.
