Duration: 2 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Santa Cruz, CA, USA
Location details: 5221 Coast Rd.

Shape: Fireball

I saw round glowing lights that had a solid presence that at first were stationary then they moved and then disappeared

Where I live I look out to the ocean and a dark night sky. Last night I saw these lights in the sky that at first I thought must be fireworks since that is common to see where I live at certain times of year, but I realized that what I was looking at was not fireworks. The objects were a glowing orangey color and they appeared to be stationary for a bit- at first I saw a collection of about 7 or 8- not sure exactly how many of them. They changed formation, but they did not move in a constant way.
I grabbed my binoculars and looked at them but I couldn't see anything better. Then they completely disappeared while I was watching them.
Five minutes after I saw these glowing lights in the sky that I can not explain what they are, I emailed a bunch of my neighbors who
also live in homes where they might have looked at the night sky to see if they saw them but no one else saw them.
