Fireball over Eagle Eye Road, AZ

The report, as filed

We were heading north on Eagle Eye Rd. We were roadcruising for snakes on the road. My son first saw the objects. Then I saw them. I pulled over and turned off the car. We got out of car and watched for a while. They appeared again and my wife then saw them. 5 large orange spheres (lights) appeared just to the North of Harquahala mountain. Objects were in a straight line. No movement of objects. They were stationary. They appeared three times in that spot. They would appear and they would turn off about 5 seconds later. No noises at that time but a few minutes after seeing them a pulsing thunder noise was heard. Like a thunderstorm rumbling no no storms and relatively clear skies. We scanned the skies for some time and the objects appeared again to the NE. Same pattern. No noise, on for a few seconds and then off. This happened a total of five times. We drove down road a couple more times. There was strange bird activity that night. We hit one bird. Two othe! r dead birds were spotted on the road. Another bird was found sitting in the road not moving. My son got out and walked up to it. The bird did not move until my son reached for it. My wife took a few pictures of the objects with her new camera. The whole experience was a little unsettling.We continued road cruising but not much on Eagle Eye road but on Salome Rd. Nothing else was obverved.
