8 "fireballs" seen in Orange County, CA.

Roommate A was outside in her backyard at 9:15 pm. She looked up and saw three bright orange lights rising into the sky from the southeast, in the same pattern. They looked like they were on fire, then burned out, and then fell. She called her three roommates to look outside and they saw five more of these 'fireballs' rise, go out, and fall, following in the same approximate pattern. The fireballs were slightly larger than a star, and moving much quicker than an airplane in the distance.

Observers are all female, early 20's, recent college graduates.
