2 Orange Orbs in the evening sky.

We live north of the Orlando Florida area. Longwood to be exact.

We also live in the flight pattern of the Sanford and Orlando International airport.

Saturday evening March 23, 2013 about 8:15 pm, my husband and I were having dinner on our patio.

At about 30 degrees above the horizon, thru the trees we saw first one then two orange orbs. They (the orbs) were coming from the south moving to the north. At the same time a commercial airliner was traveling from the north to the south. That’s when the orbs slowed and turned to the east. We thought they were helicopters at first. Then we thought there might have been a rocket launch at Cape Canaveral. We see them all the time from our house. The orbs were as big and bright as the rockets they launch without the vapor trail. Canaveral doesn’t launch 2 rockets at the same time. We don’t know what we saw.

I grabbed my Ipad and took a video of them. Not real clear and it was as they were fading away. The whole thing lasted about 2 to 3 minutes. They faded off to the east.
