Strange lights - NO Way a man-made craft

I saw a light in the sky that wasnt very far away and it was an orange-ish color and it was small at first and then it got really big. I said "WOW, what was that?". My Mother was driving and asked "what" and I said "a weird light". It went out of sight for about 30 seconds. We turned the corner and went toward the beach when we both saw four lights in a row, the same orange-ish color(the color of a street lamp) and they slowly faded one by one like it was rotating. At first my Mom thought it was a plane but the lights completely disappeard and then reappeared instantaneously a very good distance away. Too fast to be a man-made craft. Then I didnt see it for a minute or so. We drove down to the beach and I looked up and saw a small, very distant light (it was the size of the stars) in the sky which abrubtly turned around and did like a bell-shaped turn in the other direction, changed to a red color and then disappeared quickly. It was a clear night with no clouds. The starts were very vivid in the sky. We've never seen anything like this and it was too coincidental to see two strange things in the sky within minutes that seemed to be relatively thousands of miles apart.
