TRIANGULAR MOVEMENT OF TWO LIGHTS OVER ASHEVILLE, NC

We were seated on a moutain overlooking the city of Ashville. It was night, and very cold. We decided to wrap ourselves in a pile of blankets and watch the characteristic "smoke" enter the valley below. As the mist covered the city, and all we could see was ambient light, our gaze shifted upward to the stars. At first, we thought that what we saw was simply a star until it moved in a triangular pattern. It was a red/blue light that was about 4-5 miles away, high above the city below. Scared, we ran to our car for shelter. Our two dogs that we had with us suddenly became silent....and believe me they had been fussing most of the night until this light appeared. Once inside the car, another light, yellow and green hovered to the west of where we were looking. This was about 500 yards away. It hovered behind the treeline and then above it. It moved in the same triangle pattern as the other light. We locked the doors and watched for about 3-4 hours more before passing out of exhaustion. I do recall feeling like my mind was being read, and as I thought this my friend asked me if I felt as though I were being scanned. WE WERE NOT ON DRUGS AND ARE BOTH CHRISTIANS BUT I MUST SAY THAT THIS EVENT HAS HAUNTED ME EVER SINCE. WE NEVER SPEAK OF THIS INSTANCE SINCE WAKING IN THE EARLY DAWN. WE CONFRIMED OUR SIGHTING TO EACH OTHER AND THEN DROPPED IT. My research has uncovered the mystery surrounding the "Brown Mountain Lights" that US Geological teams have investigated with NO results. What the hell were these lights?????
