Characteristics: Lights on object

Light in sky resembles eye opening.

We had just arrived in Kuwait during the beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Me and my Sergeant were tasked with escorting the convoy of our armored vehicles from the port in Kuwait to our Camp along the border. One night, sometime between 1 Apr 03 and 5 Apr 03, I was driving our Humvee across the desert and i saw in the sky what looked like an eye opening then closing. It was a reddish orange light. Then I saw it open and close on another section of the sky. Then I saw it open and close on another section of the sky. That was the end for that night. I saw the same light on two other occasions while in Iraq. The lights behaved in a similar manner. I am not sure if it was just some military aircraft, but I never heard any sound from them, and I have never seen anything like it before.
