Series of star -like bright lights that came on and formed an arc then disappeared. Saw 3 times.

12-12-07 I was driving to pick up my son from daycare and it was 5:15 pm. The first series of lights I saw were red-orange and appeared for approximately 5 seconds as a series of straight line lights all of the same shape, and then all disappeared at the same time. I looked around to see what could have caused the lights, perhaps a reflection, someone turning on Christmas lights, etc… but could not see anything. I drove further towards town and off to my right, right above Palmyra center of town I saw a series of white lights “come on” one at a time and as each light (looked the size of bright stars) came on, the first one was still visible but looked less bright. This continued quickly until about 9-15 lights along an arc were lit up and again, as quickly as this happened it all disappeared at once. I was shook up by this and could not figure out what it was. I again quickly looked to see if there were lights in my car that could be causing the visual images – but again couldn’t find an answer. Finally, as I arrived at my son’s day care as I was about to get out of the car I saw another arc of lights form above the horizon in plain sight. The arc was shaped different – different angle, but behaved the same in terms of the lights “coming on” one at a time with the one just lit the brightest until the next came on. When all were lit - it disappeared at once.

I have lived in the area with my family for the past 18 years and have never seen such lights. I am an organizational consultant and have never seen nor reported anything that I would consider UFO material until now.
