Multiple orange lights

Orange glowing lights, first just 6 hovering, then they moved into a line and went out of sight. Around 5 minutes later another wave of around flew by,silently. Witness 1 saw them first, when witnesses 2 and 3 came out they did not appear. Then they appeared with more frequency and numbers. They seemed to swoop in, (going from East to West)in arcs or vees, and glide overhead, disappearing from sight just a little behind us. The largest wave was over 40, they came in strong waves 5 times, and smaller waves at least 9 times. The intervals lengthened to roughly 9 minutes between sightings, they seemed to be flying higher, except for the last sighting. It was 2 lights, they were first spotted directly over head, where they hovered for a moment, then flew lower and out over the street then headed Southwest and disappeared. They had wings, but no other features were distinguishable other then the orange light.
