Have seen “shooting stars” before and this was different. Was a cluster of a handful of fireballs that glowed bright with some orange/fire color tones. Short trail behind fireballs. Stopped us mid conversation because we were in disbelief of the bright cluster as it seemed closer than a “shooting star” would seem in the atmosphere. Amazing!! Don’t think we will ever see anything like it again. We’re familiar with space x rockets and similar sightings and this was different.
