Midway

Me and my friend were driving back home around 11pm, we were by Colonels Island near the welcome sign when we noticed a few cars with flashers on or driving really slow people were out of their cars looking up so we did the same. There was approximately 6 ‘orbs’ in the sky 2 were big and 4 were small. The bigger ‘orbs’ had 2 small ‘orbs’ with it on each side (they were all at the same distance apart from each other approximately 40 feet) The ‘orbs’ or UFOs were a bright but dim yellow/orange color (that’s the only way I can explain it) they were almost the same yellow/orange color of a old street light but very round like a orb! They hovered in the sky for at least a minute above the marsh at an approximate 100 to 120 yards away from us aka the distance of a football field. I told my friend to grab one of our phones and take pictures/videos but when she went to take the pictures both of our phones started glitching. I looked back at the road because I was driving when I looked back up the smaller orbs were gone and there were only 2 large ‘orbs’ left. I continued to drive I didn’t see them till I got down the road to the Hooker distribution center which is approximately 7 miles away from the Colonels Island sign, we saw the 2 large ‘orbs’ again hovering above the trees in front of us at the same distance (I start to feel weird I can’t explain the feeling I’ve never felt it before, it felt like being ‘loopy’ with some anxiety like my body was ‘buzzing’) I still continue to drive we get to the overpass by the interstate which is about a mile away from the distribution center when we see the 2 large ‘orbs’ again hovering behind Parker’s Gas Station above the woods the orbs were not as close I’d say they were maybe 140 to 150 yards away (at this point I feel very loopy almost sick my eyes felt fuzzy it was like I was seeing and feeling static in my eyes and head, a better example is Snow Vision Syndrome but instead of seeing just white static it was multi colored - my memory is very blurred I’m trying to remember everything but I can’t) I do remember making jokes about aliens, UFOs, and talking about how me and my friend were shocked/nervous to think that maybe these ‘orbs’ are following us, my friend told me we should stop talking about it because it was giving her anxiety so we started talking about something else. We get down the road to Midway where the Pizza Peddler is which is about 3 to 4 miles from the gas station we see the 2 large ‘orbs’ again but the orbs were pretty far away from us probably about 3 football fields away right above the woods (the deep woods) then they disappeared I felt a little ‘woozy’ but when I got home I felt fine. The next morning I talked to my friend and she said she didn’t remember our conversation or feeling ‘bad’ but she did remember seeing the 6 orbs.
Ever since that night I’ve questioned a lot like what were those orbs? why did I feel so weird? Why were our phones glitching? Why can’t my friend remember what we saw/felt? Were we abducted? Why does this memory feel more like a dream than real life?
