Orange fireballs over central Florida

While driving home my father and i spotted 3 floating fireballs in the sky, East,in a line formation. After a minute they floated over the road in our neighborhood and formed in a triangular configuration then faded out of sight. 3 minutes later we spotted one about 1000 feet up going North. It was a very bright orange fireball that moved slowly and disappeared. A few minutes later we heard the sound of helicopter blades above our house. The helicopter was heading East, following 2 distant orange fireballs that at that moment sped off out of sight.
