{tjd} Burning Orb like a fireball, but stopped in mid-air, changed direction, changed altitude and disappeared At approximately 5:05 a.m. EST. today (7/20/2019), I was on my porch in Zephyrhills, Fl when I witnessed two large round burning orbs, at which I thought at first was a meteor shower. However, these appeared in mid-sky, a few feet (visually) over the tree line and not from higher up. It was as if they just appeared. I lost sight of one, but the other one, the larger, stopped in mid fall, changed directions, flew south, with flame tail, then climbed straight up an disappeared. I was dumbfounded and about to go back inside when I saw another one appear in the same manner, dropped what I can surmise was several hundred feet, stopped, this time changed direction to the north and moved with flames at it's back and then fell below the tree line where I could no longer see it. In addition, there were several aircraft flying in a wide birth circle around this event. We are a small town and it is not normal to have aircraft up at that time and specifically that many aircraft. My neighbor told me she read on facebook that meteor spotting would be prevalent the next few days. These were not meteors! Can you give me some answers?
