3 white Orbs/Spheres

• Technical Sergeant working as Quality Assurance Inspecter
• Very cold early January, clear skies, slight ice fog
• While driving from QA office to C130 flying squadron what appeared to be a black triangle appeared in sky thru windshield of truck
• Continued driving for a minute or two and noticed movement so I decided to stop and exit vehicle for a better look
• Stopped perpendicular to end of main runway. Standing at bed of truck the main runway to my back I observed three white orbs moving in a section of airspace toward Shipp Creek 45 degrees to my right. At this point I determined it was not a black triangle but that perception was caused from the brightness blocking out the background light
• Three distinct white orbs, fuzziness on the edge
• They would also disappear and reappear while drifting around
• When they disappeared it was perceived as a collapsing into itself or as something traveling away at an extreme rate and shrinking away
• However, I don’t think they flew away because they would reappear at a point expected due to speed and trajectory
• Contemplated contacting tower or someone else on the handheld radio but was concerned of the effects to my career should they disappear without additional witness
• Only sounds were my idling vehicle and one GPU in the distance.
• Estimate diameter at 50 feet, all 3 were same size
• Estimate distance away 2k-5k feet and 2k-5k feet in altitude
• Moved in 3 dimensions
