Three large, round, bright orange lights coming together in the form of a rotating triangle

It was after dark and my two daughters and their friend and I were headed north on Shearer’s Road and we saw three, bright, round, orange lights in the night sky (did not blink, no other colors) approaching from the western sky approximately 50-60 degrees high.

We pulled into an office park up the road at the corner of Shearer’s and Timber and sat and watched the three lights, which were spread apart. They then came together into the formation of a triangle and rotated slowly, traveling toward us. The lights then turned south and we lost sight. Our daughter’s friend’s parents met us at the office park in their car to pick up their daughter and both adults also reported seeing the bright lights.

My 12-year old daughter’s account: When it was dark my mom, my sister, a friend and I were driving on the road just chatting when my mom suddenly blurted out, "Look at those lights.!"

I looked and they were moving slowly at an axis. They were orange round lights.

We pulled into a parking lot and started to watch it. It was turning slowly and going down in the trees.

We saw the friend’s parents also sitting in the parking lot. We pulled up next to them, taking our eyes of the object and told them about it. They have also witnessed it.
