My family and I were camping in a large campground and sitting by the fire around 2210 hours. My teenage son pointed to the East and asked, "what is that?" My wife, daughter, and I turned to observe an orange, pulsating, fiery orb hovering over and beyond a local lighthouse. The orb then moved upwards, hovered, then moved right then left. The orb began to move downwards toward the ocean at a slow steady pace. We observed the orb go behind a low cloud and could observe the cloud illuminated from behind. The object then picked up speed as it was changed direction to the right and we lost sight of the illumination in the cloud. We went to visit a friend who was also at the campground. At approxately 2250 hours our friend pointed to the sky, in the same direction as before and stated "what's that?" My whole family and I looked up to see the same orb in the same place! At that time we told our friend what we had observed earlier. This time the orb hovered in one place. I used my iPhone and took a short video. Not long after I turned off the video, the orb vanished. Within a matter of minutes, we observed a fastoving aircraft in the area. I must admit, we watch Hanger1 on a regular basis and are somewhat on the fence concerning alien life. My wife has lived in the area her whole life and I've been here 20 years. We have been camping at this campground several times a year for about 8 years and have never seen anything like this before. We have observed several rocket launches from a nearby NASA facilility and this was definitely different. My son sent the video to two of his friends who also observed the same orb, however they were about thirty miles away.
