At approximately 12:07AM, January 1, 2017, a total of 5 bright orange-red spheres were spotted between 60-70 deg. from the horizon, traveling in a Westerly direction. Spheres were situated lower in the sky than a plane would fly and no contrails were seen.

Sequence of events: Three spheres initially spotted from an open window moving slowly with no sound in an evenly-spaced zigzag pattern, then hovered momentarily as a fourth sphere joined them.

From a driveway view, I saw the spheres shift into square formation for approximately 15-20 seconds ...

until a larger, brighter sphere entered the area from East at a faster rate of speed than the previous spheres.

The smaller lights then broke the square formation into a line and began traveling NW with the larger sphere at the rear until they were out of sight.
