I have spent 25 or so years since then, every day of my life, trying to figure out what I, we saw.

At first I thought the white orb was a helicopter w/spotlight, then realized first that it was silent,then there was no beam from the light, by this time we all were looking at it.  Then after 20-30 seconds, two orbs, one out of the top and one out of the bottom, the orb out of the top and the bottom circled clockwise, so now there is one smaller orb, large orb, small orb, in a row up and down, at this point we all are amazed at what we are seeing, then after another 20-30 seconds, the two smaller orbs each broke-exploded into 5- 6- 7- smaller orbs, then zigzagged as in the same direction as they got smaller then disappeared, which left the large orb.  After another 5-10 seconds, the large orb got smaller then gone.
