About 8:00pm last Saturday evening I was on my dock in Windermere West and saw three very slow moving orange objects arc across the sky from west to east. The were not flashing or anything like that and slowly faded out about halfway across the sky. Two other people with me witnessed this. The only explanation I can have is a meteor shower or just one breaking up. It was very unusual that there were three in a row, one after another. Did anyone else see this? I am also curious as to any other explanations that one may have.

We set off about 25 Chinese fire lanterns up by Pirate Island. We got them to set off during the 4th f.ireworks show at the amp but it was too windy. Hard to believe but it could have been some of them.

Never seen a "slow moving" meteor, they are generally trucking when they hit the atmosphere. It sounds like they were probably just un-cloaked alien craft - nothing to worry about. Either that or LNG is throwing over-ripe tomatos in the air for Tarpon to try to hit.

Didn't see it but it sounds like a larger meteor that probably broke into pieces as it burned up. Also, it can appear to be moving slowly if it is moving away from you at an oblique angle. Appears to be moving slowly across the sky because of the angle it is in relationship to your location.

I saw one with a banner "Aliens For Obama". His support is world wide.

That banner was on a white F-250 that hit some trees in South Texas.

A much funnier retort than the original post by GF.
