Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

A group of about 10 fireball like objects traveling at about the speed of a normal helicopter with no sound. Ten minutes to cross sky.

At approximately 9pm (21:00) on I believe it was Saturday night, August 25th, 2012 I witnessed anywhere from 7 to 12 what appeared to be fireballs (but traveling at about the normal speed a helicopter would be going and at about the same height , about 1000 feet max., but with no sound at all) coming from the Southeast going in a straight line Northwest, and taking about 10 minutes to cross the sky. These objects were traveling in pairs, except maybe 1 or two. It was unusual because they were just orange, like fire, with no sound whatsoever. The sky was 90% clear, I could see the moon. The objects disappeared one at a time into a cloud cover in the Northwest.

When I heard about others seeing these objects also on the Coast to Coast AM Radio show with George Noory as the host on Mondays show (08/27/2012) and mention of the website ufocenter.com to report my sightings I realized maybe what I had seen was not a group of helicopters at all.
