mysterious lights in the desert night sky somewhere between Kingman and Phoenix Arizona.

I was returning to Phoenix from Kingman, Arizona were we had been working. The project we were on was over budget and we didn't want to stay another night in Kingman. We worked until about 8pm and then hit the road. My partner was driving. I had my feet up on the dash of the passenger seat in our work van. Suddenly out of the corner of my eye I saw a very intense light orange colored light in the sky. The light was about 10000 to 15000 ft in the air (approximately) and was shaped like a circle. At first glance I thought it was a flare, but it had no light tracer and it held its position in the sky. Then as that light faded, another appeared directly below it, faded, and another below it. In what appeared to be a perfectly straight line. Then another light appeared to the right of the bottom most light in the vertical line, faded and then another light appeared and then faded. It seemed to form an "L" shaped pattern in the sky. My partner and I convinced each other that it was just something strange and unexplainable but not extraterrestrial. We were in a hurry to get back to Phoenix traveling at about 85 mph. About 5 minutes down the road from the first sighting, We saw another light exactly the same as what we had just witnessed. This time the lights were more spuratic and didn't appear to form any particular shape. The lights also appeared and faded the same as in the first sighting. There must have been about 5 more light appearances for a total of 11. I remembered the sightings in Phoenix a couple of years ago that made the news. I remember being very skeptical about the sightings then, now I am a firm believer. This obeject(s) I witnessed was exactly what was described over the city of Phoenix. another note: my first thought was that it was lights reflecting off of clouds or something to that affect but then I took a look out my side window and found not a single cloud in the sky. I could see every star!
