Hmm Planes? no.....Lanterns? no.....

I was going out to drink on Friday 28th August. As i left my frontdoor i looked up to the sky and noticed a bright orange light moving across the sky. My first thought was 'oh just a plane'  but that opinion quickly disappeared when i noticed no beacon light, flashing etc. and absolutely no sound. I saw 6 - 10 of these orange lights move across the sky at the pace of a fighter plane, so that discounts the lantern theory. and there was little wind too that night. there was a gap of say half a kilometre between each 'orb', give or take.
