I was driving from Marquette to Gladstone on US-41 and observed these lights when I reached the intersection of US-41 and US-2 in Rapid River. I was slowing down to make a right turn to US-2 when I noticed a single glowing orange-red object with white-ish center moving from east to west approximately 45 degrees above the treeline. I was occupied making the turn and looked to the right, but looked up again after realizing something seemed "off" about what I saw. I looked up again and immediately got goosebumps and fear sensation through my whole body.The object itself was 1/2" in diameter from my distance, and seemed to wobble a little as it moved west. The lights of the object itself seemed to stay fairly consistent as it moved. By this time I had pulled on to US-2, but made a quick decision to pull into the Rapid River Mini Mart parking lot to get a better view and attempt to take a picture with my phone. I drove to the west side of the parking lot and remained inside my vehicle due to fear/apprehension. I managed to get one distant blurry picture of this single object before noticing *two more* objects of exactly the same size and light description as above moving behind it in a line from the same direction (at this point I was REALLY scared and confused!). Even though I was shaken and upset - not only because of the strange orange color but because of how low they seemed to be in relation to the treeline! - I managed to get two pictures of these images, one farther away, and one with full zoom. The second picture is not steady, hence the slight blur above the lights. The orange glow isn't hardly visible at all in the pictures and looks NOTHING like the lights appeared in person! It was a very distinct orange-red glow. I left after I took the third picture out of fear and anxiety. Once I arrived home to Gladstone, I observed the sky to the east periodically for approximately a half hour afterwards to see if these objects would pass over my location, but I saw nothing.
