Equilateral orange light triangle with additional single orange light as separate object moving slow 1-2km altitude

Three orange lights were seen moving slowly west about 1 km high in sky and 2km from standing location. Triangle pivoted slowly to reveal perfect equilateral shape. It continued to move southwest at a hotair baloon speed. Lights were about 200meters apart and did not change distance. Light intensity was very deep orange, significantly larger than the warning lights on the cell phones towers about the same distance away. After one minute, an additional orange light rose from the north east with about 1 km distance from the triangle object. The light was slightly larger than the lights on the triangle. It followed the triangle at the same speed. The path was not straight and looked like it flowed as if it could have been a baloon. However after rising first about 2 km over the hill, it looked as though it sank altitude 500 meters for a final altitude above 1 km. It then proceeded to follow the triangle south east until both were out of sight. There was absolu! te silence outside. The weather was light snowy with moderate cloud thickness. The time was about 2145 GMT +1
