7 orange/red orbs in formation over Ohio

My husband, 2 boys (12 and 14) and I were watching T.V. just before 8 pm. on Sunday evening. My husband looked out of our large bay window (from the second story of our house) and noticed 2 solid orange/red round lights coming over the trees from across the street (from the East). They were spaced apart and flying evenly spaced. We all looked out the window and noticed another set of 2 lights coming behind the other 2, spaced evenly apart as well. Then we noticed another set of 2 lights, also spaced evenly from each other. There were 3 sets of these lights, 6 altogether, flying slowly and evenly in formation in a Northwest direction. We ran outside to get a better look and to determine if they were planes or helicopters, but there was no sound coming from the lights.

Intrigued, I called our next door neighbors (who are our relatives) to look out of their front door to see the lights. By the time they got there they saw the last set of 2 lights. They didn’t hear any sound either and couldn’t figure out what it could be. We have a military airstrip not far away and frequently see military planes practice over our houses on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but we all determined these were definitely not planes.

The lights were orange/red in color and were round in shape. I thought I saw a small blinking light in them, but it was very tiny in comparison to the solid orange color. They moved slowly and evenly and seemed to eventually disappear as they were flying north. My son described the lights as flames coming off the back of missiles, but I thought they were more consistent in shape than a flame would be.

We came back inside and a few minutes later a single orange/red light started coming from the direction the others had come from. It was not spaced out evenly behind the others; it was farther behind the rest. But it moved slowly following the same path the others did. It eventually disappeared in the sky as well. We tried to get a video but couldn’t pick it up in the night sky.

I decided to check online the next day to see if there were any reports on the news and if anyone had seen these strange lights in the area. I was shocked to find your website and to see that others had seen these at different times and places and am convinced they are the same things that others have seen.
