10 fireballs seen flying in a straight line accross Trinidad

I was on my way home after visiting my neighbor about 7 pm when I noticed a bright circular object flying through the sky heading from east to west. The object seemed unusual as it resembled a ball of orange/yellow fire traveling very quickly and gave off no sound. I hurried inside to call my family to observe this “phenomenon” but before they could come outside the object disappeared. Less than 30 seconds later after explaining to them what I had seen, another object of the same description was sighted, followed by several others all moving in a straight light with a 10 second interval between each of them. About 10 of them were sighted. My sister managed to get video footage of the sighting. With zoom the object looked like an orb with rotating lights about its axis as it moved across the sky. We were not afraid, just amazed.
