This is an old even that happened to me in the spring of 1998 in Reisterstown, Maryland. I was driving home around midnight in a residential area. There were houses on both sides of the street. All of a sudden I noticed three red orbs about 20 feet above the homes to my left. I pulled my vehicle over, got out, and looked up at these three orbs. They were moving around almost as if they were playing a game of tag with each other, or searching for something on the ground. Very sporadic motions. As they were flying around each other they were also slowly moving east and getting further away. I got back in the vehicle after a few minutes, in an attempt to follow. I tried to follow the orbs but they took a different path than the road and I lost sight of them. My closest point to them was approximately 50 feet. I would estimate they were the size of beach balls and glowed a deep amber color. I don't remember the exact date but it was spring of 1998.
