Odd red lights after storm in sky over Duluth, GA

Good afternoon NUFORC, This past Friday evening (08/21/2020)shorty after a pretty good thunderstorm in Duluth, GA--at 8:45PM, my girlfriend and myself were sitting on the front deck reviewing our week.

The storm was past us heading NE (more Easterly),there was a rainbow about an hour prior to what we thought was an odd sighting. As we looked from the SE to the NE we saw four red (round/cylindrical)close together--almost as if they were in a frame or structure. But it was not moving, the 2 top red lights would disappear and then return. Okay, someone as a drone or it's reflection off a cloud.

We just had a thunderstorm and we could see the clouds moving pretty quick (20-25kn),then we started seeing commercial flying way below it. The ATL airport is south of us--see planes a lot. So we took pictures and video with two different phones (iPhone X & 11). After 18-20 minutes it was gone.

Regards,
