Angels, Aliens or Airplanes?

A woman at a friends birthday party saw a single formation of light in the sky and started recording.
It starts as a single ball of fire high in the sky and is falling down towards the horizon rapidly. At that moment, one might think - oh it's a meteor,it has to be. Then all of the sudden, the ball splits into several, like when a meteor hits the atmosphere and that might be proof enough that it just might be a space rock, drawn by the earth's gravity. The people in the recording can clearly be heard gushing over the sight. It is breathtaking.
But then, the balls seem to stop in the air and you don't know what to think! Are they alien space crafts? Are they little angels? We can only speculate.
What do you think it is?
