reddish orange lights on New Year's morning

My brother and I were watching the fireworks just after midnight on New Year's and my brother said look at that light it was a reddish, orange light, Then I could see more light's coming from behind a tree in a side ways vee formation, I ran back into my house to get my mom to see the lights by the time we ran out side there was about 15 to 20 lights they were spreading out low in the sky. and then they stopped. My brother ran to git his camera but his pictures did not look to good the lights looked like stars. The lights came in from the south and were headed in a northern direction until they stopped right in front of us and over the fireworks we were watching that were down the street from us, it was like the lights were watching the fireworks to. The lights stayed there for about 10 to 15 minutes and then they faded out. and then 20 minutes later we all saw another single reddish orange light north of us it stayed sill for about 4 minutes then it faded into! the clouds. It was just off the 99 & Lincoln area.
