One large red fireball descending from sky, which broke into 7 others and proceeded to blink and move sparatically.

My wife and I were sitting on a condo porch looking at the almost full moon, when both of us watched what looked like a single fireball or large red shooting star descend from the sky.

The object was staying in almost one p,ace the whole time, then appeared to break into two pieces, maybe three. They were blinking and moving in one direction, but then back tracked and blinked in different patterns.

Then one fireball or light broke into about 5 pieces and travelled upward together, while two other lights appeared to mimicking each other, while blinking back and forth to each other. They would stay close to each other throughout the whole duration, but the two that mimicked each other (away from the other five) would some times back track, as if to go in reverse quickly and sort of far away, then come right back to where they were.

We were not in toxicated and do not do drugs, but are school teachers who would not have believed anyone if they told us......! we have never seen anything like this and I'm sure we will never again. Just wanted to share, thanks!
