3 orange fire like, round objects moving south in night sky

A very clear star filled sky. I was looking to the south west and noticed a very orange, like fire, round object moving slowly south, at a speed similar to a satellite. Then a much bigger one rose up as if from the ground. I thought at first it might be a firework as it is New Years eve.It looked exactly like it was something burning.

At that point the first one disappeared. The bigger one looked as if it was coming closer to me but then began to move south the same as the first one,and slowly got smaller as it went until it also disappeared.I went in to tell my family, and then went back outside to look again.

Before I knew it, within seconds, I saw another one! This one was to the south east, and was moving toward the west. It moved at the same rate as the other two. I watched it for about 2 minutes. It seemed to suddenly move south and also disappeared. I am excited by this event and keep going outside to scan the star filled sky every 10 minutes or so, to! see if I can see more.

I would stay out looking up except it is really cold out.Did anyone else see these?
