3 unusual red lights in sky

I saw 3 non-blinking red lights that appeared to be at high altitude and moving slowly together slightly to the west if looking up at the belt part of the Orion constellation. They formed an acute triangle but appeared to be individual, not 3 lights on the corners of a single triangle shape.

The lights did not blink or appear as normal navigation lights on airplanes from what I could see, nor did they look like any sort of ground-launched fireworks. Maybe they were flares dropped from high altitude.

I watched them for about a minute before deciding to get my binoculars for a better look. It only took about a minute to get them and when I returned outside the lights were gone. No weird noises, no sparks, no unusual movements. The only thing unusual was the appearance.






NUFORC Note:

Possible party lanterns, but that is a guess. Many other reports. PD
