Fireballs over the Gulf of Mexico

[passfan]

Strange fire floating out of sky looking out towards the Gulf of Mexico from just east of Tampa. The kids came in talking about it and I dismissed it as a meteor. 2 minutes later another one and it looked like a fire literally floating out of the sky as if it were attached to a parachute . I am 30 miles east of Tampa and this looked far off. I could just make out the flickering from the fire. Hope it wasn't an aircraft.

My brother was a c-130 pilot in Desert Storm. For months after the fight was over , they would drop huge flares on parachutes from 30,000 ft to light up hundreds of miles of desert and keep the republican guard in their holes.
Maybe what you saw was Uncle Sugar's finest doing some practice. Let's hope it was something non-tragic.

Thats the most likely explanation but what that guy doesn't know is that the aliens are here to make contact with sasquatch. Not us
