Object with three red lights, lights turned off as it ascended to treeline

It was about 8:30 pm, my mom and I were outside on the back patio. I noticed a red light moving overhead to the west of us and pointed it out to her, asking what she though it could be.

On the underside of the object was a red light that was steady and did not pulsate. It moved about the same speed as the planes we see flying by, landing at the airport in Baton Rouge.

I walked out into the yard to get a closer look, and two more bright red lights came on, one after the other, making a total of three lights in a small cluster. The object appeared to be approaching us, ascending quickly and moving toward the trees where I was standing.

Then, as it reached the treeline, the lights shut off. Because it was dusk, I could not see the shape of the object.

During the time of the object's ascent, what appeared to be a commercial liner was flying unusually low and to the west of the object, not on a course that I usually observe such planes taking.
