Four parentheses shaped lights in sky

Saturday Night, January 26, 2019, at approximately 8:30 pm, I was getting ready to get in my car, and stopped for a moment to look at the night sky particularly the Orion Constellation. There were some thin clouds in the area. When I looked up to the left of the constellation, I noticed 4 (four) parentheses shaped lights in a vertical formation headed past the Hagerstown Outlet Mall north (moving parallel to South Potomac Street near the ACT gas station.) There was no noise, or any other lights and I watched them disappear one by one.

My first reaction was not quite believing what I was seeing; feeling rooted to the spot; then I became fearful and nauseous. The sighting lasted 1-2 minutes (maybe less).

Once the lights disappeared, I got in my car and continued with my plans for the evening. I felt a bit anxious about returning home.
