Orange Balls Of Light Over Delavan, Wisconsin

Date: July 3rd and 4th, 2010
Time: Approx: 10:30 p.m.

Brian, I happened upon your website because I've been searching for 3 days for an explanation of what my friends and family witnessed on July 3rd and 4th, 2010. We were in Delavan, Wisconsin on July 3rd at about 10:30pm, a large, round, orange ball came out of the southeast sky traveling northwest. It flew right over our heads. It was bright orange, round, completely silent, and moving fast.

We couldn't tell exactly how high it was, but we estimated 5000 feet. As it was a clear night, we saw several satellites that night and it wasn't even close to the same thing or altitude. About 4 minutes after the first one flew over, another one, exactly the same and on exactly the same trajectory, flew right behind it. It also was traveling fast and in about 45 seconds it disappeared due to it's distance from us.

On July 4th, we were scanning the sky and saw it again, this time across Lake Delavan about 2 miles from us. It was the same object traveling just as fast, but since it was further away, we couldn't get as good a look at it. The interesting thing about the July 4th sighting was that it was cloudy out and this orange ball was under the cloud cover.

Any ideas on what it was, we've been talking about it for days and ruling out planes, helicopters, satellites, shooting stars, hot air balloons, etc. Thanks.
