Large, red light, flanked by smaller red lights that appeared to change shape

I was a young boy, appx. 10-11 yrs. old at the time of my sighting and living in a small, farming community in SE Oklahoma.  I was an airplane enthusiast and modeler at the time, but UFO's were not in my vocabulary.  I had never heard the term before.
One spring evening, probably late May or early June (appx. 1962-63), I went to bed at 9:00 pm which was my normal routine.  My bed was placed next to my window (which faces west) and, as usual, I would stare out into the night sky prior to falling asleep.  This time, just as I was drifting off to sleep, I saw an unusual object floating in the sky, seemingly just outside my window.  Coming fully awake, I was startled to see a large, circular red light, appx. the size and color of a traffic light as seen from about 100 ft. away, hovering at a height appx. 50-60 ft. above the ground.  On either side of the large light were two smaller red lights, about one-fourth the size of the central light, and angling upwards at about 45 degrees so that the entire object appeared V-shaped.
I continued to watch the object for appx. 15 secs. at which point the following occurred; the large, central light dimmed to about half its former luminosity and the four smaller lights winked out completely leaving only the large light visible.  Appx. 2-3 secs. later, the four smaller lights reappeared only this time in a straight line, two above and two below the central light.  The smaller lights were also dimmed this time to match the brightness of the central light.  I continued to watch this arrangement for appx. 15 more secs. before the lights winked out completely.
I remember that my window was open that night and at no time did I ever hear any noise from the craft nor did it change position while in view.  I also remember there being a stiff breeze that evening as evidenced by the rustling of the tall grass in the field directly behind my back yard which would seem to rule out a balloon of some kind.  I also believe that all of the lights correlated to just one object and not that all of the lights were individual objects.
Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate.  PD
