Multiple red lights that floated up, and away from each other, formed a diagonal line, then disappeared.

I was watching t.v. when my wife was coming home, she came screaming and yelling in the house to come outside now. I thought there was a car accident and when I came out she pointed to the Northern sky and I seen red lights that flashed and seemed to float up and away from each other slowly. They were all lined up with the highest one Northwest and the lowest Southeast. She said they were all clumped together when she seen them at first and they started to move in a line formation. Then we seen an airplane coming from the direction of O'hare Airport and move in towrds the 2 lowest lights at which time they disappeared.I've lived here all my life and living next to O'hare airport I know what a plane looks like but I have never seen anything like this in my life.
