UFO Sighting in Merrick, New York on July 4th 2015 – orange globes changing shape and distance in the sky and a flying saucer

so my prior message was interrupted,this is a Follow up of what we saw on July 4th while watching fireworks. The last object flew over our position very high in the sky and while i was looking at it through binoculars it seemed to change shape into a flying saucer that was huge in size. In an instant it sped away out of binocular view .The disc was orange in color with no visible structure than it being a round smooth disc that seemed to pulse. it took less than one minute to go from horizon to horizon. i'm 57 years old , an avid outdoors man with much time in the field and having a hard time understanding what i saw with my own eyes through a great pair of binoculars. my friends saw the same things without binoculars and some say we saw Chinese lanterns. There is no way a candle lit object could have moved across the sky and distance as fast as these orange globes and what i saw a great distance with binos was bigger than anything I've ever seen in the sky in my lifetime. It was gone in a second.
