Source:

While returning from a Fall Festival at Graves Mountain at around 7:30pm, we noticed several orange/reddish objects hovering in the sky,moving slowly and then disappearing.We were driving on Rt 3 through Spotsylvania County VA near Fredericksburg and decided to pull over since we have never seen anything like it before. At first we thought it was meteors, but then after taking few photos and observing more, it could not be since the objects hovered and ascended and then disappeared in the sky.We came home to perform some research and saw that other folks were able to capture similar photos that we took tonight so we decided to report this sighting. Hope this helps..
