Sphere over Kitty Hawk, NC

The report, as filed

Sitting on the deck at approximately 930 pm, we witnessed two orange/white strobing orbs appear to the south of our position in Kitty Hawk. The first appeared and remained stationary for about 10 minutes. It strobed orange to white and at some times looked red. It eventually move at a slight angle becoming very dim, until it disappeared. Shortly after, the second orb with the same coloration appeared in the same area of the sky. It drifted slightly from East to West, then remained stationary for about 8 minutes. It then rose straight upwards. As it rose a small white orb seemed to drop out of the orange orb. The small white orb disappeared immediately and the orange orb faded until it was completely out of sight. After about 10 minutes, a third orange orb came into view directly to the north of Kitty Hawk, lower on the horizon than the previous two, but strobing orange/ white. It appeared to be moving towards our position, becoming increasingly more visible. Then it began to fade until it was no longer visible.
