We saw bright hazy orange round floating objects flying in formation.

This happened in either 2011 or 2012. We saw approximately 8 round orange orbs, approximately 10 - 15 feet wide. There was no sound but as they got closer, I believe there was a very light hum. They were all in a row following each other about 150 feet apart. They were about 50 feet in the air and about 50 feet from us, coming straight at us. They were flying along the tree line in my front yard, and we were sitting in the hot tub. They veered off from us and flew over the house. I tried hard to view past the glow, and I believe I saw a person seated inside within a framework. I was the only one who thought they saw a person. I don't remember for sure, but I think they might have been pedaling like a bicycle. I assumed at the time that it was a club riding around on some type of flight machine like an ultralight. I attempted to call local small airports and tried to find that type of aircraft or local clubs but didn't find anything. I ended up calling a local newspaper to see if they knew anything about that type of club. He was very interested in what I had to say until he found out it happened on New Year's Eve, then he quit talking to me. All of us that observed this have college degrees. We all work full time, and two of them own their own business and the other one works for the State of Washington. We were all in our 50's at the time. There were 4 of us in the hot tub at the time but only 3 of us observed this.
