Duration: 5mins
No of observers: 0

Location: Bradenton, FL, USA

Shape: Oval
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

these were not fireworks nor planes of which I have seen many - they were things I had never seen before --

On the 4th of July, after seeing a few fireworks in the sky at 10:00pm, I looked to the eastern sky and saw a bright orange oval shaped object that was glowing was yellow inside - looked like a cat’s eye - it seem to float across the sky with no sound and no blinking lights -- just a glow -

it gradually climbed higher and higher headed west til it was out of sight.

In about 1 minute, another one came and flowed the same path and then a few minutes later , another one came following the exact same path as the two before.

Then I saw a plane behind them - it had blinking color lights and a noise and I am sure was headed for nearby airport - I was not sure if it was following the objects or not -- I know was not fireworks - they were over and fireworks make a noise and fireworks dissipate into the sky they do not float and follow the exact path - the lights usually go in many different directions - these 3 objects I saw were all the same color , same size and followed the same path - More may have come by, but I grew a little afraid not knowing what they may do or if they knew I was taking pictures , so I went inside --

When searching the web, I learned many people saw the same thing I saw some saying 3 orange to red color - glowing
