Four Fireballs in Cayucos Sky

A friend and I were sitting on a rooftop balcony in Cayucos when we saw three glowing red/orange firebals forming a triangle, moving through the sky. They stopped after a few minutes, and hovered. One of the fireballs suddenly disappeared. I was taking photos and then took another photo when it disappeared.

My friend said, "quick, take another picture before the second one disappears." Immediately after I snapped the picture of the two remaining fireballs, another one disappeared, followed about a minute later by the third.

A fourth fireball appeared lower in the sky and moved toward us for about a minute, changing direction several times, moving back and forth laterally, before disappearing.

All four fireballs seemed to change from orange to red to white several times. Each blinked rapidly before disappearing.
