3 yellow orbs chasing one another in the sky facing south towards the Gulf of Mexico.

At 3:30AM CST I observed 3 yellow orbs appear in the sky facing south towards the Gulf of Mexico.

They appeared independent of one another, moved around each other in organic "dancing" and playful circular chasing motions. They appeared in triangular formation at times and would break apart again.

It seemed as if wind resistance and gravity were not obstacles as they moved faster and with more accuracy than any man-made flying object that I've ever witnessed.

After 15 or so minutes of enjoying the performance they dimmed and disappeared, unsynchronized from one another. I had no camera or cell phone at the time and my family was asleep.

I was 18 years old standing on a 3rd story apartment front balcony enjoying the ocean air. Being outside at that time was typical for me as I was avoiding the family. They were not the type to believe anything that I would tell them let alone a story like this.

We lived in an apartment complex in Navarre, near Eglin Air force base. Although I knew that what I was watching did not appear to be naturally possible I believe chose to accept at the time that it had to be military involved.

I'm compelled to include that watching the orbs interactions felt whimsical and intentionally playful.

The speed at which they changed direction as they skimmed past one another and the lack of apparent wind resistance and gravity is what keeps the details of this experience vivid.

I've never seen anything similar since.
