Large red ball of light that multiplied into four separate lights at tree level, white lights flying at high altitudes.I was sitting inside the house watching TV when a flash of light in the southern sky caught my attention. It was a very clear night, and I saw multiple white lights moving across the sky at high altitudes independently of each other. I don't think they were satellites because they did not move in a steady line across the sky, instead they zig-zagged from east to west. As I was standing outside watching the lights, a large red ball of light appeared above the tree line in the southern sky. I was so frightened that I got in my car and drove 4 miles down the road to get my neighbor so he could see what i was seeing. He wasn't there so I went back home, hoping they would be gone. It was there again (or still) and then seemed to split or multiply. The second ball of light emerged in front of the first one, the third emerged from the second one, and by the time there was four lights I had gotten in my car and was speeding to another neighbor's house. By the time we got back it was gone, but the white lights were still in the southern and western sky. My neighbor thought that they might be military aircraft watching the American/Canadian border. I had no idea who to contact, so it wasn't documented at all. I've never witnessed any type of activity like this before, so it really makes me curious as to what I may have seen.
