Shape: Sphere


25 - 30 giant orange balls in the sky over Asheboro that floated and moved around then took off out of sight in the blink of the eye.

I went outside to smoke at the Randolph Hospital and when I walked across the street to the smoking area the lady that was there already smoking said to me, "What is that in the sky are the shooting fireworks?"

I looked up and there were about 25 to 30 glowing orange balls way up in the sky that started getting closer fast all coming from the same direction. They all stopped around the same area in the sky and kind of float there for a second then move real fast in different directions for a few minutes and then in a blink of the eye took off faster than anything I have ever seen. I mean they were gone in less than a second.

They all went at different intervals and made no noise. I called my wife and she ran down and got to see the last 4 of them right before they left. They were very high in the sky and you could tell they were huge. Like I said I have never seen anything move like these things did and they looked just like orange balls of light in! the sky.

Someone else had to have seen this it went on for quite a while and was very visible to see. I took some pictures but all you can see is just orange balls of light I snapped them from my phone but I will never forget seeing this it was incredible and sure as hell not something you see every day.
