A large chevron shape of red twinkling lights slowly moving across the sky in the Mid-City area of Los Angeles, CA

I was outside of my Dad's in the Mid-City area of Los Angeles, CA. I was talking to my neighbor when I noticed a large chevron shape of red twinkling lights slowly moving across the sky. I pointed it out to my neighbor and we watched this shape of lights move slowly across the sky. We could not make out a mass, only the lights lighting in a pattern back and forth across the chevron shape. My Dad's house is in the flight pattern of LA International Airport, however the planes fly in an East to West or West to East flight pattern. This object was moving in a North to South pattern. An airplane flew over the object and was much smaller in comparison. It couldn't have been an airplane, it was just too big and moving too slowly and it didn't make a sound.
