I sent a similar e-mail to Debbie Ziegelmeyer and Margie Kay (MUFON) but thought I should post it here as well. Maybe there is an explanation for this event?????

I stepped out onto my back deck, (evening of Saturday, September 14th) started to sit down on a chair but looked up before doing so. Coming from the direction of the southeast there is a bright orange round object moving over my house. Higher then a helicopter but much closer then an airplane. It is bright orange on the outside/underside but a deeper orange in the center. The color in the center seemed to be moving but that might have something to do with the atmosphere.

I stepped into the house and the clock reads 9:40 pm. About 30 seconds later a second one appears coming from the same direction, displaying the same thing as the first. About 30 seconds after that another orange one goes over my house but still at a level that I could see the darker orange moving around inside the center. All three objects move out of sight into the northwest sky.

I went back outside and have been watching but I do not think any more will come tonight. I am not very good at trying to judge size and distance but they were close and big enough that I could see the variance of the orange colors inside the spheres/UNDERSIDE. I believe if I would stretch out my arm, the objects would be about the size of the palm of my hand. This is the first time I have seen anything like this. I did have trouble sleeping; I kept seeing images of them in my mind all night long. All I can say is, it might be explained away but I can see the stars in the sky, so it is a clear night. There are no other lights like an airplane would have and they were completely SILENT but moved at about the same speed as an airplane would travel.
