No of observers: 1

Location: Rochester, NH, USA

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

At 5:00 pm, first orange glowing lights (orange fireballs) seen were a set of 3 in a triangle shape approximately over Loan Oak Ice Cream on Rt 125. Those 3 lights separated slowly away from each other and disappeared. Behind those lights came several others in groups of 4 to 6 or so. They all seemed to be 300 to 400 feet off of the ground and about 100 yards apart. All flying in a row, one behind the other at about 30 to 50 mph? , running parallel to Rt 125 North. A couple of the lights caught up to the lights ahead of them and flew beside them.

I drove south on Rt 125 and parked in front of Stewarts Green Houses were I could see more lights coming from the east, over the tree line across the street near Salmon Falls Road. I watched the lights that kept coming in single file and flying along the side of Rt 125 North bound towards where they were first seen over Loan Oak Ice Cream. I saw 35 to 40 or so total, in an 8 minute span between 5:00 pm and 5:08 pm.

When it looked like there were no more coming, I pulled out on to Rt 125 heading South, I looked over again toward the tree line and saw about 3 more appear, then I continued driving on my way home.
