The light was literally sparkling with brightness like flame. Like nothing I'd ever seen before in the sky. Almost as if they were entering earth's atmosphere.

Remarks
It was three moving objects. Each one had a long trail of sparkling, flaming light following behind them. Moved kind of slowly but straight. Never lowered never got higher. Stayed roughly the same height the whole time I saw it.
