3 bright orange lights across SE Melbourne

I was just outside imaging and saw 3 bright orange lights across SE Melbourne. Came from N then when SE across the sky about 40 degress.
Extremely intense there was no noise from the objects.
Did anyone see this?
I quickly grabbed the dslr came and took some shot but they were pretty much gone by then. Will check my camera in a minute
Its really hard to put a lens on a camera when your in a hurry and to get focus lol

Hubby was outside and saw this too.

Was there with my wife these things at first i thought may have being a pack of heli's moving, problem was they were going way to fast. There was zero noise, besides idiots having a party 3 blocks over lol. They would have being doing massive speeds so they weren't homemade lanterns, i thought they may have being meteors but then the top one stopped. 1 of them shot down the other pissed of south, or maybe the one that stopped was on another path and just looked that way. They looked like fireballs, extremely bright and intense orange in color. The size was massive 3 or 4 times the size of saturn.

Saw one Last December, same bright orange fireball,very fast,traveling east to west. No noise whatsoever.
Was gone in just a few seconds.
Till this day, just can't comprehend what object is capable of such incredible speed.perhaps a meteorite?
