Orange Orbs in Broward County Florida.

I was sitting in a chair facing east talking to my former brother-in-law out side of his parents house in the driveway.  I first saw 3 round orange orbs above the tree line heading south.  They were equal distance apart from each other and if you put both arms foward and made them into a circle that about how big they were from my point of view.  They made no noise and all traveled at the same speed. The only way to explain the speed is as I saw the orbs and I said to my former brother-in-law look and pointed with my finger by the time he turned around they were out of our view.  I saw a few more and my former brother-in-law still did not see them and thought I was screwing around.  I ran inside and got the phone.  I called the FT. Lauderdale airtraffic control tower.  I told them that this was not a prank call and they could call the police and I explained what I had saw and he told me their was nothing on radar.  I sat outside for a few more hours this time with a camera but they were to fast to focus on.  I counted a total of 11 with in 2 hours all going south, all flying the same pattern.  I believe this was in 1994 but I can't be sure.  I have told some people but I think they thought I was making it up.  I know what I saw, I know your thinking why did I not write sooner.  I have no answer to you except that I want people to know now what I saw then.  I have another incident to share with you but I will wait to see how this one goes.  KEEP LOOKING UP!
Date is approximate.  Witness elects to remain totally anonymous.  We wonder whether the lights might have been military flares, launched near PD
