LOL... That is very funny John.

My top five guesses are:

1)  Antigravity craft coming in for a landing at the    local airport just over the horizon.

2)  Weather ballons sent up by the Martians or by personel at our secret Mars Base.

3)  Electrical discharge balls caused by colliding dirt devils.

4) Foo Fighters that lost their way home during WW2

5) Ball mirages caused by atmospheric conditions.

I think swamp gas can be ruled out.

Grypd,

I don't think it is dust blowing across the lens.  If you notice in close ups these are orbs that are shaded in the way one would expect if they were being hit with sunlight from above.  I don't think specks of dust would show this type of shading.

The first two images below were taken at slightly different times.  In one image an Orb is visible, in the next image it is gone.

Below:
Two more images taken of the same Martian view at slightly different times.  In the first image three objects are visible in the sky (first object is just above the horizon, image center, next two objects may be sighted following the diagonal towards the upper right image corner.
