Strange twinkling lights very low on the horizon.

On the night in question, my friend and I went to his backyard so he could have a smoke. As we walked out, I immediately noticed a light in the northwestern sky that was very unusual. It was in a northwest direction (looking towards Buttonwillow and maybe even towards highway 41) from where we were standing, approx. 15-45 miles away. At first glance, it had an orange-like light. After a few minutes, the orange went away and what looked to be two red lights appeared in its place. There was also a white light clustered just beneath these two red lights. As we were watching this, I attempted to take my phone out to take a picture, but it suddenly disappeared from the horizon. Within a few seconds, it reappeared. It did this one or two more times before it faded out, but very, very slowly. Also, this was very low on the horizon.
