I would like to report and confirm similar observations made between midnight and 1:00am on 01 January 2010. The sky was clear and there were no planes preparing to land at that time . Me and my girlfriend , we could clearly see spherical , bright orange lights at least 5 of them , approaching form different directions southeast , east and north and heading south west . They appeared to fly at relatively low altitude , so if they were planes or helicopters I could clearly hear engine noise . They did not make any noise at all , as if they were gliding . Also they did not flash any warning lights . They were moving with the same speed , although keeping some the distance from each other.Unfortunately I could not take any pictures , as I was quite astonished in the first instance , but moreover I do not have good enough camera . Hopefully this email will prove
