5 bright orange square lights over Southeast SD

On October 24th, at around 8:25 that evening, I was driving out of a valley and upon cresting the hill; I noticed one square orange light in the sky well above the tree line. While I was looking at the light, another light lit and then another until there were 5 square orange lights lit making a bright rectangle. Then the sky went black. Then again the lights came on in succession until 5 square orange lights were lit and then the sky went black.

I pulled my car over and got out to see if I could hear a helicopter or plane. I heard neither. There was nothing up there and I could hear nothing. This all lasted around 3 minutes, if that long.
