My friend and I saw three orange-red circles in a linear fashion in the sky one evening which was not moving nor making any sound.

I want to make it clear that I do not remember exact dates or times so, I will try to get as close as I can.  My friend and I were about 14 years old.  We were wrestling in a neighbors yard as we did often.  I had my friend pinned down and he was fighting to get up.  All of the sudden, he froze and stared into the sky directly behind me.  I turned around and saw three orange-red circles in a linear fashion.  This object was not moving nor did it make any sound.  It would have been approximately 50 yards in the sky at about a  45 degree angle.  After a few seconds, the object starting moving towards a wooded area about 300 yards away.  We followed it to the woods.  I probably would have never mentioned this except for the strange events that followed.  I honestly do not remember anything after we got to the woods.  I do not remember going home and as far as I can remember, my friend and I have never talked about the incident.  I remember one time mentioning the event in the presence of others and was stopped short of telling the story by the friend that was with me.  The part that has always stuck with me is the way he looked at me.  It actually frightened me and still does to this day.  I have always wanted to ask him about the event but, I always “chickened out.”  After that incident, I did not mention the event to anyone for at least 9 years.  I, of course, leave out the details of the mystery of the event to the 10 people I have told.  I just say the object disappeared past the woods.  I do not want people to think I am crazy but, I just cannot get the event out of my head.  I just felt I needed to say something.  I have started to report this incident many times but, always erase it and try to forget about it.  The comical thing about me reporting this is the fact that I never planned on doing so.  I wonder how many people out there never do report their stories.  I know of a few that never did.  I bet you would have at least twenty times more reports filed.
Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate.  PD
