More "Phoenix Lights" over North Phoenix at approximately I-17 Freeway and Carefree Highway

As I arrived to work as a security guard at a trucking company in North Phoenix at 9:20 pm, I saw out the side window of my car 3 lights in a triangular formation fade out one by one over about two seconds; they were amber or yellowish orange in color. I saw them only at a glimpse as they started fading out. I do not know how long they had been there. They were to the North and slightly West of my location. This would mean the lights were roughly over I-17 freeway and perhaps Carefree Highway. I have seen these "Phoenix Lights" many times over the last couple of lights, so I continued to observe that portion of sky in case they would appear again. They did appear lower on the horizon; this time there was somewhere between 6 and 10 of them that appeared in a streak or straight line almost as if it were one that was in motion but only appeared in a series of dots of light. This second set of lights appeared about 5 minutes after the first set. The duration of this second set in a line formation was maybe 1 to 2 seconds. All of the lights in the second sighting were amber except for the last one which was red. They appeared from right to left at a slight angle from higher to lower (maybe 2 or 3 degrees off parallel with the ground). The lights were so low to the ground the second time that I could barely see them over the building to the North of this trucking yard. The first set of lights was much higher up in the sky.
