Multiple events, red/orange lights in S. Forida.

Multiple events in past 6 mos. Identical conditions in regards to low cloud ceiling.

First event, early 2013. Time approximately 19:30 Looking south towards Miami two orange lights slowly moving east to west. Altitude approximately 250 feet. Distance approximately 1/2 mile. Continued in a western path for five minutes until lights disappeared into low cloud ceiling. Witnesses 3.

Second event, June 09 2013 (If I remember correctly). Time approximately 21:20 Once again, looking south towards Miami 15-20 lights moving west to east. Altitude approximately 500-700 Ft. Distance approximately 1 1/2 - 2 miles. Although objects were not uniform (IE: triangle), they did not deviate from their own close proximity. If these objects were indeed chinese lanterns then someone had connected them with some sort of string, rope, or cordage, thus allowing a somewhat uniform appearance and movement. As an ex service member I can ensure these objects were not flares, as these object maintained their altitude for approximately 10 minutes before disappearing into the low cloud ceiling. Witnesses 2 Third event, April ? 2013. Looking north from same location. Time approximately 1630. Conditions partly cloudy. A white/light anomaly appeared (other witnesses claim seeing two side by side before I had come outside). Very very strange. Although anomaly appeared close, and conditions of full daylight, I could not gauge distance or altitude. Certainly not low level clouds reflecting sunlight. Still try to rationalize this event in my mind, but I cannot. When reflecting on this event it almost seemed like a dimensional anomaly. I honestly have no way of explaining this event rationally. Witnesses 4 I did not take down exact time, wind, or cloud ceiling conditions because, frankly, I never thought I would be filing a report on them. After hearing a report on Coast to Coast on 25 June 2013 of many events, I figured I should at least make a report on these events. This is coming from someone who has never witnessed any event prior to 2013, so to have 3 events in less than 6 mos is very odd.
