Location: GMA (area K) (Philippines), , Philippines

Fire orange lights over GMA, Cavite, Philippines

I am an American visitor to this location. Walking with my friend, I noticed one person looking at the sky, so I also looked. Initially I saw two lights, seemingly burning orbs, flying absolutely silently across the sky in a perfectly straight trajectory. As I watched, the leading orb was passed by the second one. Then, both slowly died out, almost as if their "fire" had been extinguished. Their speed across the sky was roughly equal to that of a commercial jetliner at cruising altitude and speed as observed from the ground. The trajectory was roughly northeast to southwest. As my friend assured me such lights were common, I saw more (perhaps as many as six more, in pairs or singularly) follow the same path in the sky with the same appearance and ultimate disappearance. In all my years of watching the sky, observing planes, helicopters, myriad varieties of fireworks, meteors, and even satellites and rockets, I have never seen anything comparable to these lights.

Since my friend insists these lights are a common occurrence, I will see if they appear this night (12/19/12) as well.
