I and friends observed a slow moving object which dropped other objects before disappearing from view.

On the evening of November 4, 2007 at nine fifty-five PM I was sitting at a table on the patio of McClain’s Coffeehouse on Harbor Blvd. when my friend observed an object hovering in the South Eastern sky above cloud level.

Upon further examination by myself and the three other people sitting at the table, the object had no other lights and shone only as a large glowing orange light, much like a fireball.

We then noticed that the object was moving very slowly toward our direction, though still miles away.

After a short while the object stopped and hovered in place, moving slightly and then appeared to turn over at which point it was revealed that there were multiple lights on the object, all the same orange color.

The object then moved back in the same direction it had come at approximately the same speed. It was at this point that two of my friends and I walked down to the end of the block to listen for any sounds, such as helicopter rotors, which might have helped identify the object.

As we were walking to the end of the block I noticed a small light fall from the object, glowing like fire and then disappearing almost like an ember, which had fallen and gone out.

I pointed this out to my friends and we then observed several more of these small objects falling from the main object before the main object itself disappeared from view, presumably behind clouds.

When we returned to the patio many people were standing up looking in the direction where the object had disappeared and they were all talking about it.

I have no idea what kind of flying craft this object could have been or what was falling from it or why.
