1 and 2 and 3 cloud type objects immediately appear off to the left of the highway right ahead of us (about 3 telephone poles away )as we were driving north of Naples, Florida

The event, though old now, still is clear in my mind as if it just happened. My friend and I were driving north on Sunday night. I was the passenger and dozed off for the duration of a Sinatra song from an radio station in Miami, when I opened my eyes and saw appearing off to left of the road, up ahead if us, cloud-like material, as if being poured into a round pan, like a making a pancake, then a second right behind it, and then a third, at which time I asked my frined what the__is that? Although we were told not to stop anywhere in the Everglades, unless absolute;y necessary, I said "pull over! Let's go take a look! We got out of the car. and I cannot remember walking forward, but when we got up ahead of the car about 20 yards, the objects were NOT in front to the left of us, but up higher and absolutely  due West! They were 3 round clouds stationary, and I remember when I looked directly at them, they exploded like a flashbulb into 3 orangish-red ovals and started to move. No sound, no trail. I can still see myself looking up at the bottoms of the objects, and then, at the fastest  (warp?) speed I've ever seen shot straight up....leaving 3  spidery-like whitish lines in their wake.
