Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

36 orange lights seen over Green Bay by seven in parking lot. Objects heading south to north in the western sky.

After exiting vehicle at East side Menard’s Home Improvement Store, I witnessed three objects moving from the southwest toward the north, in the western sky. One object was in the lead, followed by two in tight, stacked formation. The objects where orange; maybe orange-red. They were not moving exceptionally fast, but faster than a balloon. Then more began to appear, moving in a similar direction; some faster than others, thus negating the possibility of a wind-blown object. Within 20 seconds I witnessed a fourth and fifth object enter the sky and stopped in the middle of the drive lane to watch. At this moment, an employee stopped to watch with me. By the time I entered the store, we had counted 11. I was in the store for only about 5 minutes. When I went outside, the same employee reported to me that he had counted 29. By that time, people started to gather and discuss what the objects could be. One bystander pointed out a plane that looked noth! ing like the objects we were witnessing. The space station was also located in the night sky. By the time the event was over, we had counted at least 36 objects (there may have been more before I identified the first object.) I believe there were 7 of us in total that saw the event. I called a local television station who admitted to having received multiple calls reporting the incident. I was unable to take photos as my smartphone battery had died 3 hours earlier.
