5 LIGHTS BECOME 12 IN FORMATION

Let dog out and noticed how beautiful the starts were. Started watching lights quite a distance away to the east ( 3 to 5) As I watched them they arched to the left on the higher end of the horizon. I noticed one stationary object(Think it may of been Mars due to reddish tint but not sure) The lights followed each other in an arch from low horizon to high and then back down. 5 of them now on the first pass. As I watched the three appeared to become 5. No sound. They vanished from sight. As I took care of my dog, maybe two minutes later I saw the five lights again. They all started doubling into 2 lights each. Before they were gone this time there where 9 lights now with the first one to the tail end being single. Again a few minutes went by after they vanished. They reappeared now. 12 OF THEM. EACH DOUBLED UP OVER THE TOP OF EACH OTHER, THIS TIME MOVING MUCH SLOWER, NOT FALLING BELOW THE HORIZON AND SLIGHTLY LARGER. THEY WERE ALL VERY DEFINED LIGHTS. I COUL! D EVEN SEE THEM CLEARLY WITHOUT MY GLASSES ON FOR A MOMENT. AND THEN THEY WERE GONE!!!
