Multiple white lights and a Whitel light with Red shining through

Last night a friend and myself were out on my balcony and we noticed something moving in the sky. It appeared to be a star, but as we watched it for awhile, we noticed that we could both see something like spurts coming out of it and it would move. My first impression was something was shooting out of it like a projectile. It was far enough away to appear as a star but close enough to see almost tracers off of it when it moved. As we were watching this light move around, another star looking light came floating across the sky towards the one that we were watching and continued past it without stopping or slowing. There was no erratic movement with the one going across the sky, but it did manage to cross the entire skyline and out of our sight within 2 minutes or less. I don't know how fast that would be. Now as of July 27th, 2010 there are still lights in the sky and I have noticed up to 6 or more. I have an apartment that has windows facing the other side of my building and I could see more of these moving objects in the sky on that side as well. It almost appears as if they are making a circle around a large part of my city, but very high up. I do live in a border town, which borders Sault Ste Marie, Michigan. I noticed one light that stood out more than the rest and it seemed to have a red that I could notice through the white. When I first noticed this light from my balcony, it seemed closer than the others and it was more centered over the international bridge on the USA side. I recently went back out to look and this red and white light seems to have now moved more to the Canadian side and more over Essar Steel which is what I believe to be the 3rd largest steel comapany in the the World. I don't know if anyone else has seen anything like this on either side of the border, but I encourage anyone in the area to take a look and see if you can notice these same lights. This is not my first time seeing the white light with r! ed shining through. I did submit a report back in September of! 2009 wh en I was about 4 to 5 hours out of town and I witnessed a sighting at a closer range that appeared to be the same type of light. My friend that witnessed this recent sighting has also witnessed another sighting about a month ago from his back yard and was lucky enough to get footage of a white star looking light flying at a constant rate across the sky. I have heard of people referring to the movements as almost seeming like the operator is drunk, but being an outdoors man, the best way I could describe the movement is, the way a water spider moves around on the water. I have tried to research satellite flight patterns, but they seem to be moving to fast to be satellites. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for taking an interest.
