3 firey orange lights in teh south sky

funkyuser · 2011-03-12 21:30:47

3 firey orange lights in teh south sky 35 to 40 degrees up ffrom the horizon 21:00 12/04/2011 slow moving and close. As i moved in my car, their position seemed to move quite quickly compared to the background stars due to my moving perspective ...this lead me to belive they were close and not a some object at 20,000 feet…
