Strange light above Vance/Mccalla.

Very noticeable light seen over Vance/Mccalla area. Red/orange in color. Shifted brightness not periodically. Disappeared twice, first time for about 40 seconds, second time for about 10 min. When fading out it appeared more red. When viewing craft I saw multiple aircraft (with obvious lighting such as one white light and flashing red and green lights) that helped with judging distance. Craft seemed to be hovering at 5000 feet. Sometimes appearing to be chevron shaped with one smaller ball above it or at times just one ball.

NUFORC Note:

Probable sighting of Mars, we susptect. PD
