Bright red/orange lights flying in loose formation in night sky.

Whilst looking out of the window to the night sky suddenly a bright light rose up from behind buildings opposite the house. This bright light was red/orange in colour and moved at a speed quite similar to an aeroplane on take off. It followed what seemed to be an arc shaped trajectory; was visible for a few minutes, dimming as it moved into the distance, then disappeared into the distant night sky. This light was followed closely by a second light which appeared before the first one had disappeared and behaved similarly. There then followed a further eight similar lights all moving in the same direction although their trajectories varied slightly. The lights all arose from precisely the same position and the distance between the lights varied.

My wife and I do not have any particular interest in UFO’s but this phenomenon certainly puzzled us.
