SIGHTING: KILL DEVIL HILLS, NORTH CAROLINA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"I'm currently on vacation in Kill Devil Hills in the OBX, NC. I walked out onto the beach to do some night time surf fishing. While setting up at 9:25 p.m. (I know the exact time because I shot a video with my phone, but unfortunately the quality is too poor to post or show proof. It just looks like small blurry pin dots of light in the video), I noticed approximately 12-15 orange/red fireball orbs coming up the coast from the south. My immediate thought was someone set off Chinese lanterns from some type of ceremony. However, they were moving much too fast for a Chinese lantern in the wind, and the wind was blowing in an easterly direction while the objects made a very clear and lengthy path from south to north before turning east out towards sea. The objects were in a loose group and not a patterned formation. They moved from the south, up the coast line. Before reaching my location, the objects turned from their northern direction and headed east out to sea. The objects made no noise and disappeared as they headed east and appeared to increase in elevation. Approximately 10-15 minutes later another identical fireball too a similar flight path by itself. And then another 10-15 minutes later, a second individual identical fireball orb made a similar flight path. Others on the beach witnessed this occurrence and I spoke to some of them asking what they thought it was. Nobody knew, and everyone agreed it was strange. It was a mostly clear night with a few clouds and the moon is close to full. The objects all appeared to move in a fluid motion. There was no starting, stopping or apparent change in speed. There were a few planes around the area, but it was very evident that they were planes with their red and green lights and noise. These objects appeared larger than the planes and as significantly brighter glowing orange/red fireball orbs with no distinct shape, design or sound from my vantage point. "
