Amber lights over Northwest Phoenix

From the vantage point of 7th Street and Deervalley in North Phoenix I witnessed amber and red colored lights in a Southwest and West by Southwest direction in varying amounts while on duty as a night security guard. These lights lit up five different times over the course of an hour and fifteen minutes. The first time there were what appeared to be two or three amber lights lined up with one red light and then one amber light separate from the line formation. The second time and third time there was only one amber light which pulsated for about two minutes each time while remaining in exactly the same spot on the horizon. The fourth time there were several amber lights clustered with one red. The red light moved horizontally towards the south slightly after all the amber ones faded out. The fifth time they were clustered again the same way without motion, but much further away (possibly over Sun City or the Peoria Sports Center. I approximate that the first three were probably over Glendale or even close to Arizona State University West Campus. Each time they were lit up for quite and extended period of time and very low in the air over the horizon. I have witnessed these lights on three separate occasions over the last two months. The first two times were over the West end of South Mountain.
