two beautiful bright red fire like balls, but really shape like footballs, just standing still for about twenty min., then just gone!!

I was on the roof of my roomates house in northwest hoouston.... This was July 4 and a beautiful clear sky..... I was watching all the fire works that where going on all over the city... Then I noticed out of nowhere towards the N.w. area two bright fire balls in the sky.... they disappeared and came back on in the exact location.. at first I thought it could be fire works and just dismissed it until they came back on... Two huge bright fire like lights in the sky just sitting in one place and stayed there for at least 20 min..... I beleive in the supernatural, but this is the first time I have ever seen anything like this at least for real... I began yelling at my roomate and my girlfriend that on the ground to tell them what i saw... I jumped off the roof to get my girlfriend to come up on the roof to see what I just experienced... It was gone.... and unfortunatly I was just laughed at............ I have never spoken of this experience again only because of the criticism my own friends.... I figure if your own damn friends would'nt believe you, then where does that leave me....
