4 quickly moving red lights in the NW sky just to the right of Venus.

I only saw 4 red lights, there may have been more. They moved very quickly in and out of formations such as a V like geese. Shortly went out of view perhaps moving towards the Nevada Test site? I observed them from Buffalo and Lone Mtn intersection. About a minute later after arriving at home, they had disappeared, but a group of 4 Nellis fighters were flying in the direction the lights were seen. Shortly after that, another group of 4 fighters headed in the same direction. The flashing lights of the fighters were seen to eventually head first west from the AFB, but ended up more N above the Sheep Mtn Rng. These objects appear to be the same ones I heard Peter D on Art Bell's show tonight (6/9) describe by another person(s).
