Bright red ball to the sky

It was about midnight on 1st of July. We were on vacation in a seaside hotel. 8 adults and 4 children we were outside of the building. Suddenly kids started to scream to us to come and see what is flying in the sky. We turned north-east and we saw bright red ball to rise to the sky from the sea. Kids said that while rising two bright red pieces have separated and fallen down. We, the adults saw only the main ball. When raised in the sky, the ball changed his direction and started moving parallel with the ground. We were observing this movement about a minute while the ball was moving away and disappeared in the night sky.
