We saw three amber balls of light appear at four minute intervals and move south/southwest then fade and disappear

Last night on the 4th of July my husband and I were laying in bed watching the fireworks out our window, which faces east.

At 1046pm we saw a bright glowing ball of amber colored light appear high in the air.

At first we thought it was a firework, but then it didn’t descend, rather it started moving towards the south/south east.

We thought it strange, but possibly just an odd angle on an aircraft, but there were no blinking lights, just a solid amber color and VERY bright. Too bright to be a star. As it moved to the south/ south east at a very good clip it faded and disappeared.

Four minutes later another one appeared in the same spot of the sky moved in the exact same direction and disappeared.



At this point we jumped out of bed and started to watch to see if another would arrive. Precisely four minutes after the previous one another one appeared and moved the exact same way. All in all three shapes that all "appeared" in the east, moved south/ southwest of Hillsboro, Oregon at 1048pm, 1052pm and 1056pm.
