Many orange red globes in the night sky over orange county california

My mom was getting into her car and I heard her saying something over and over loudly. I returned and heard her saying "What is that!!" over and over. I looked east and saw in the sky a very large amount of orange/red globes hovering in the sky. Some were closer and others were father away, in at least 3 layers back into the night sky. The close ones seemed to be usually close, and there were so many of them, that I considered that we were under attack, but they weren't moving quickly. They were basically not moving, or moving very slowly. I went into the house to get my camera. When I got back my mom explained that most of them had left. 3 remained which were in a diagonal line rather than the triangle formation that I noticed earlier. One vanished and another seemed to rise from the horizon.
