UFO Stalker describes the experience:

I'm not sure if these were ufo crafts or fireballs. At first, they were all together then split into 3 & all sizes were the same. recorded on Aug 20, 2020, in Utica NY [National UFO Reporting Center]

A few days earlier, this was a report out of Clay, NY, about a balloon-like object traveling against the wind. Here's the actual report.

The lantern-like object traveled perpendicularly to the wind at consistent speed and direction and continued after the flame disappeared.

An Object was spotted traveling to the North on August 15, 2020, at dusk over Clay, NY. The object traveled in a straight line at a consistent speed and made no sound. The altitude was in the range of 300-500 feet. It was a dark object on top and what looked like a flame a foot or two underneath. As the object approached our limit to see it, the flame disappeared but the object continued in the same northerly direction. Our best guess was it was a balloon or a lantern; However, since it traveled a consistent speed in a different direction than the wind and continued its trajectory after the flame disappeared, I thought it warranted a report. We did capture video of the object with a cell phone, but the quality is not great. [National UFO Reporting Center]
