I saw 3 objects one was flaming red with 4-6 flames beneath the other 2 were just red lights

I was heading south on a residential drive in westside jax fl to go to the store, looking forward driving I noticed a bright ball of red flame with 4-5 flames coming down from bottom of the flaming ball.

Since this was New Year's Eve, I thought the object was some fireworks but had no sound.

I slowed down to look at object ahead of me and I noticed the two other objects, a total of 3. Being in communication technologies I thought it was a radio tower but realized there were no towers by the house in this direction. They were in a triangle formation.

The object that was flaming was the top left (east) of triangle. The other two, one was to the right (west) horizontal to the flaimng one. The third was below the other 2 and in a center position.

As I turned left there were several couples with children walking , they were all looking and pointing at the objects.

As I ended the street I lost sight of the 3 objects due to trees and houses. I took a right turn an! d saw the flaming object still in the same place. The other 2 objects were gone.

People walking on Blanding blvd were also looking and pointing at the object too. I was not the only one who saw this. The flaming one stayed stationary till I reached the next light. The object was still flaming, then it moved toward the east at a fast pace and was gone. It did not go away in a flash. This all occured just 1 air mile away from Naval Airstation Jacksonville (NAS JAX)
