Mysterious lights over the desert just before Dateland, Arizona

Well my mother, myself and my children (they were asleep) were all on I-8 heading east a little after the second set of mountains you go through after leaving Yuma, AZ., headed toward Phoenix when I noticed to the south of us 1 triangular shaped object with amber colored lights about 4 on each side with some in the middle sitting or hovering over a mountain, and another thing of about 5-6 amber lights that was like a half cresent shape just sitting or hovering over the desert in between the freeway and the mountain that the first was at. I looked at it for about 20-30 seconds when I said to my mother "look over there at all the lights, expecally the triangular one, what do you thing it is?" She looked over at them and said that she did not know what it was. Then I told her that I was going to take a picture with my camera phone but as I went to get my phone and take the picture the lights looked at if they went out almost one to two at a time and were gone. I looked at a sign on the freeway to see where exectally we were on it so that when we went back by on the way back to San Diego on 6/19/05, I could look to see if it was possibly a building or something. However, on our way home on Sunday I looked out over the desert to see if there was anything and there was not. If anyone else saw these lights and know what they were please post a response. Thank you.........
