Shape: Other
Characteristics: Lights on object

Multiple red spheres/ovals, some in triangle formation

Around 6:35 PM as I got in to my car leaving Men's Warehouse at Easton Mall in Columbus, I noticed multiple bright red lights (approx 20 total) moving across the sky coming from the West, moving Southeast. I hung up with my mother whom I was talking to when I noticed the lights and starting filming at 6:39 PM. They were moving at a moderate pace and appeared to be moving in the same direction. A few of them were clustered in triangle shapes and one of them came close overhead but was not illuminated. The shape was about 50 feet above me, it was a dark gray oval and made no sound, my camera could still pick it up against the dark sky. My original video was too big so I had to lower rez to 185 MB, I have a 452 MB version if needed. I looked to see if there were any holiday festivals or light shows tonight and was not able to find anything in my area. Found out Chinese New Year isn't until mid Feb 2022 and the oval shape seemed inconsistent with Chinese lanterns.
