Supplementing my first report to include a depiction of the object(s) i saw (see attached).

Sat Aug 5, 2023 (night time/not certain what time it was though). Standing out on my back patio balcony (2nd floor apartment) I saw a string of lights which were standing vertical but at a slight tilted angle and moving from the sky toward the earth at a rapid speed. I couldn't tell if it was one object or many but i saw approx 5 - 6 lights. All appeared to be round in shape but the first light closest to the earths surface was a brilliant orangish or amber color and all subsequent orbs of light were whitish but they varied in intensity or hue from the one before it as did their size. It went from large (Amber color/closest to the earths surface) to the small closest to the sky. The object, whatever it was, fell from the sky like a firework but much faster and with zero noise or light trail/tracer.
