3 bright lights horizontaly in a row

I had stepped out of my back door onto my porch, when I went to the steps I looked out past my tree and saw 3 very bright lights horizontally in a row over towards town. They looked like work lights, but they were way to high to be work lights. They were not very high above the trees and when I saw them, they did not appear to be moving. It was very cold and for what ever reason It did not occur to me they might not be of this world, until I read the report from Fort Bragg, and these were exactly what they described. I wish I had gone back out with my camera, maybe next time.
