In your first account, in the Everglades, you failed to mention what it is that you saw...
Just a light in the sky? Some movement?...

There are lots of satellites up there, and for every one you see with your own (naked) eyes, there are probably 2 or 3 more that are too dim to see with the naked eye, even in the least light polluted skies. I know this from my own experience, since I observe meteors/meteor showers naked eye, at the same time as I photograph the sky, and there are always many more satellites that I did not see when I go through my exposures later on.
Satellites are captured very easily with a tripod mounted camera with a good fast/wide lens, since they move relatively slowly through the sky - even the dim ones you can't see, so you can test this out for yourself quite easily if you have access to a DSLR and tripod.
The second incident you describe might have been a high altitude aircraft. Sometimes you can't hear any sound.
The third sounds like a pair of chinese lanterns. The time frame certainly fits, as they usually burn out after 2-3 minutes.
