Formation of red lights over Monroe, Ohio.

Between the hours of approximately 10:30 pm EST and 10:45 pm EST, I observed a tight procession/single file flight of what could have been anywhere from eight to twelve red lights flying in an unremarkable yet "eerie" manner from the NNE to a SW direction.  
I am not discounting the possibility that these could be aircraft perhaps heading towards either Florida or Texas for hurricane relief operations - but these "aircraft" had only a red light(s) as far as I could discern, and there were a lot of them following each other in a "one by one" procession.  They flew over neighboring Middletown, Ohio, which is next door to Monroe - at a relatively low altitude.  
They did not originate from the proper direction of Wright Patterson AFB - but from farther North.  There were no unusual flight behaviors that would differentiate them from typical aircraft - but I could not hear any noise that I could directly associate with them.  The scene struck me as being very creepy.
Neighborhood dogs were barking - but I was unsure if this was because of the objects - or because I was standing on my porch and they heard me making remarks such as, "Oh my God!" - and "You must be ((word deleted)) kidding me!".
