Location: Bayview, WA
Shape: Fireball
Duration:10 min
Fireballs over Padilla Bay/Bayview area in Skagit county, Washington state.

We were camping at Bayview State park when we looked out towards LaConner and saw 8 or 9 orangeish-reddish fireball looking things heading towards us. Part of the group, about 6 of them split up and headed northwest. A couple of those then faded out. The others remained in the same general area as before the spilt but gained in altitude. The ones that had headed northwest then joined up back with the other ones and they formed a v or a y shape as they started gaining altitude. At this point, there were 7 of them. Then they all headed up , gaining altitude and then quickly faded out. Each fireball appeared to be moving independently, not forced to move from the wind. There were no noises associated.
