Duration: 5 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Farmington/Helenville, WI, USA

Shape: Formation
Characteristics: Lights on object

3 red lights, one blinking, moving in formation or possibly on vehicle

I was driving south bound on County Rd D just south of County B when I looked east an saw 3 bright red lights. They looked to be aviation warning lights from a tower but there are no towers in thar location. The northern most two lights were solid red, with the last one flashing.

They moved slowly to the west and as the got closer appeared to spread out, however that may have been due to a change in perspective and position. I watched it for between 3 and 5 minutes as I drove south and lost sight of the objects. I could not be sure if it was one object with 3 lights or 3 separate objects.

I drive that was twice a week and have never seen anything like it before.

Its speed was to slow for a plane, it could have been 3 helicopters, but there were not regular strobes on them.
