3 red orbs in close formation - Sarasota, Florida

January 3, 2024
Wed Jan 3 about 630 I was heading home after work just north of fruitville rd. I made a left from fruitville rd heading west unto Apex now heading south / I saw a trio of lights red, close together - which seemed odd - they were or appeared to be above celery fields so i figured maybe drones - I thought maybe private jets but they seemed all the same - i actual hit my hazards and stopped off the side to see if they were jets flying in one behind the other heading into SRQ airport but they weren’t passenger commercial for sure - they were low and smaller based on my vantage point - my best guess is some sort of drone but why 3? So front 2 ended up not even heading downward they went up and seemed to split and disappeared into height the 3 rd maybe a steady approach toward the airport but fizzled out I gave up and left it as small planes practice runs or drones fly nighttime air flight device I seen a guy use a flying solo vehicle Monday over the Tatum areas north of fruitville so maybe they have rentals ? Idk . and so I continued on my path home on apex southward and got to Palmer Rd made a right westward , looked over my shoulder and saw another 3 lights trio seemingly taking the same path again from out of the east sky heading over celery fields .. I figure some rational explanation but still curious what it is - found this site - maybe someone knows what’s happening out there .
