Shape: Light

Tonight we witnessed two, very bright, orange colored, lights appeareing in the north east sky, side by side. One appeared on the left, one on the right. The one on the right dissappeared, the the one on the left. About two minutes later, 3 more lights appeared horizontally in the same area. All were stationary and very bright. As one dissappeared on the right, another appeard on the left. No more than 3 were visable at a time, but 5 lights eventually appeared, all positioned horizontally.

It was odd, that afterwards, we saw what could have been 3 jets(blinking lights in the sky, followed by the sound of jets once they moved), hovering around the area. They spent approximately 5 minutes flying around the area of the bright lights, before heading south and out of the area. We saw a similar appearance last night, but the three lights were lined up vertically and we have seen the same thing numerous times repeating the same patterns since January.
