2001-11-18 - Aurora, CO - Formation

Group of faint red lights flying in a boomerang formation very high and quiet

While looking at the Leonid meteor shower, I noticed a satellite traversing the sky directly overhead, that satellite was moving in a NNE direction. While looking at the satellite I saw a group of faint red lights moving in a boomerang formation from North to South that intersected the satellite path. The red lights clearly passed in front of the satellite. I did not file this report until I reasoned everything I saw that night and I went to the Satellite Prediction Report that I recieved from http://liftoff.msfc.nasa.gov/RealTime/JPass/PassGenerator/....the satellite I may have seen was proabably ALOUETTE 1 or RadarSat......but I know for sure that the red lights I saw were not a plane or satellite. I asked my next door neighbor who was outside also with his Celestron telescope 'did you see that' and he said 'yes I see it too...your are not crazy'.
