5 Red light object floating over Fountain, CO

I just let my dogs out to go the bathroom before bed, I do every night. I always look to the sky, because of my interest in the possibilty of other lifeforms. I looked up and saw this pattern of lights that I have never seen anywhere before. I live right next to a miltary base, and near a few air traffic paths. I have seen just about every aircraft that should be in the skies above me, this was NOT one of those! It was a four sided craft I assume because it had 4 (flare red) red lights coming from it, and had another coming from the bottom of it. It was a very intense red light too. It was about 800-1000ft. from the ground, and floated North to South. I say floated, due to the speed it was moving. It seemed way too slow for it to be airborne. It went over the house and out of sight, so I ran through the house pulling my girlfriend outside to see it too. We both stood on the front porch and watched it until it dissappeared.

As it approached a very light and whispy set of clouds, it’s lights started to strobe and flicker,. Then, just before it entered the clouds, it paused. All the lights then went flickered,faded (still flickering) and then blacked out. It made no noise at all, it was only visible. I hear planes and choppers all the time where I live, this is NOT one of those, or were the lights that were on it. I want to be very clear on this because I know what I saw is not something I have seen before.

What an awesome feeling to witness something like this.
