Full Report Text:
I viewed 5 fireball UFOs in Petersburg. The last showed up very bright and seemed as if it came from the ground and vanished. Was leaving work driving down Washington St.
By the library, and as I look up, I saw 3 orange balls sitting in 1 spot side by side. At this point I slow my car completely down and they appear to vanish within the clouds. As the 3 vanish I see another appear within the cloud and in seconds I see a 5th one that was extremely bright orange but it look as if it had came from the ground, and it was rising higher and higher.
