Two Brothers See Red Orbs Flying in Sky at Back Road Campsite. Me and my family were on a road trip, and went through some back road camp ground in Iowa. We were driveing all day and thought it was time to camp out. As the night went on, and my grandparents went to bed me and my brother decided that we needed more wood for the fire because we were gettin cold. So we walked down the dirt road till we came to a highway. Out of no where I look up and just hoovering over the tree tops is this Bright Red Orb, at frist i thought it was a fire work, but i noticed it didnt pop and it was to late for fireworks at a campsite, but when I seen it I paused and told my brother to look at it, we followed it with our eyes and it slowly hooverd over the tree. At that very momment we both felt like time it self froze. We watched it hoover up a little bit higher over the tree and for some strange way it look like it blasted off. This might sound weird but it really looked like it hit hiper speed, like you see in movies. But it really did,! and with no sound. Right after we both seen it, we looked at each other and both were shocked and then cars started driveing down the high way, and even a guy on his bike rode past us. And the crazyest thing it was 1 o clock in the morning.
