Fireball over Amesbury, NH

The report, as filed

At around 01:02 I was traveling through Amesbury heading north. It an area I have been through multiple times during the day. At the intersection of Rt 150 and S Hampton Rd I noticed a light to the approximate 5° of north. Maybe along the direction of Rt 150, I had already turned onto S Hampton Rd. I have worked in the cellphone tower constitution industry, and my first thought was a tower light. That is until I noticed the color, and lack of blinking. I have also spent six years in the military. What it reminds me of is a military handheld illumination flare. That is a flare lacking illumination radius, smoke, or noise. A solid yellow fireball. At the time it looked stationary It wasn't till I was up S Hampton Rd approximately a quarter mile that I saw the other two objects. They were approaching me from the west across the field at Amesbury Elementary School. They looked to be separated by a couple hundred meters. Because of their shape and size, about the size of a basket ball. An there was absolutely no sound. I could judge distance or altitude. At this point I stop. After referencing Google maps. I believe I stopped at 22 S Hampton Rd. The objects passed just south of me, moving east. The first object started to fade. Fade as in moving in a straight line away from me. Not over the horizon. The second object seemed to stay the same. I left the area shortly after. If I can upload the short video i took. It does not do what I saw justice. I'm my time in the military I have seen all types of flares and aircraft. I would even say these were aircraft. But there was absolutely navigation lights. Nothing was blinking.
