The report, as filed

I've seen these fireballs in June of this year and before in May of 2020! They usually come in twos one behind the other. My first time seeing them was in June of 2016! They are so hot coming in at a cruising speed and then as they descend into the atmosphere they start to cool and turn dark orange and keep cruising til u can't see them in the night sky. I saw one going East in June and tonight this one was going south.! Why are they here? What are they doing? One thing is I've seen em enough to start believing! The first couple of times I was in doubt. And I know they have to see them! As I write them it just came back and flashed me and my brother as I was telling him!

We were waiting for the moon to rise watching the stars and then saw a fireball in the sky heading south east at a constant speed never slowing down or speeding up. It was seeming to cool gradually getting dimmer until it disappeared into the dark sky. Could see planes as we are close to the airport but they were at a lower altitude. Have seen this pattern multiple times.

I saw a bright red circle in the sky. It caught my eye because of how bright it was and I thought it was a planet. But then I realized there seemed to be 5 or 6 of them. All still, not moving, not making noise. Periodically they would move to a different location, but then were still. I watched for about 20 minutes until the clouds covered them. It also looked like periodically fire would drop out of the bottom then evaporate in the sky.

I noticed a bright white light through my blinds where the trees are thick behind my home. It was above the large cleared area in the trees. It is typically very dark there. I looked through my blinds and saw a light through the trees. It was an almost sphere like shape at times shining very bright and seemed to be hovering in one spot, but movement was noticeable as it hovered. I could hear a low humming sound. At times the light would appear to have a beam and other times it would fade and dissapear. When the light reappeared it would become very bright. It looked similar to a near full moon hovering lower than the tree tops, but it was not the moon.
