Two Vertical Strips of Lights

At 7:45pm on Wednesday, February 26, 2014. I was driving home with my three year old son and eight year old daughter. On the right side of the sky, I seen a vertical curved strip of 5 orange lights distantly in the sky. They stayed on for about 2 seconds.

Then on the other side of the sky I seen another vertical strip of 5 orange lights curved towards where the other lights were, light up. Both sets of lights were the exact same distance away, they did not flicker or change their position. They were a mirror image of each other.

My eight year old daughter asked me what they were. I had no idea what to tell her. The second set then went out and the first set came back on, then that one went out and the second one came back on for about 2 seconds, then went back out again. Each time they lit up they never stayed lit for more than 10 seconds each time.

I pulled over turned on my flashers and watched and waited. There was no sound associated with these lights, a! nd the road was unnaturally empty of traffic and people, even considering the time of day. Nothing happened, so I pulled back out behind the first vehicle I'd seen sense I pulled onto the road, a truck, and continued to drive. Less than an eighth of a mile down the road the first set came back on again, same location, same distance for about five seconds.

The truck in front of me slowed to almost a stop and I knew that they had seen it too. The truck then turned on its flashers drove slightly down the road some more at a slow pace, then pulled into a small closed restaurant and just sat there. I drove by the truck slowly and the man had his head sticking out of his window watching the sky. That was the last time the lights lit up and I continued to drive home stunned by what I had seen. I have never seen anything I could remotely come close to calling a UFO, but I have no explanation for what I seen that night.

My three year old still talks about the lights in the sky and my eight year old fully believes that she saw angels that night.
