Wife and I in backyard pool with lights out. From Cocoa, Florida looking towards direction of Space Center, it looked like another rocket was lifting off. Working there, I was not aware of any launches scheduled that day (today). Wife noticed that the object appeared to be on a trajectory that will take it directly overhead. It did fly overhead but emitted no sound. Trajectory of object was from north-east to south west.

Wife left pool to get phone and head to front yard to take a picture of object. Within a minute, a second object appeared on the same trajectory. I then when to front yard and informed wife that a second object was about to appear over the house.

I went inside and grabbed a digital camera and managed to take one picture when it was lower on the south west horizon.
