Three bright orange circles of light in the sky (forming a triangle)

It was 28 years ago during a late afternoon, when one my girlfriends and I (we were both ten years old) were sitting in her front porch.  We were talking and looking at the sky. 
We noticed the sky was overcast, but the clouds had a very unusual gray/orange tone. 
Suddenly, three deep orange almost red colored bright circles of lights appeared in the sky forming a triangle.  There was one on the top and two on the bottom.  
We were speechless at the sight, but were even more amazed when these three lights began two moved in the sky as if someone was juggling them like clowns do with balls in a circus.
The experience still fresh on my mind like it happened yesterday.  I do not know till this day what it was, but certainly was unidentifiable. 
Then, 14 years later  a large group of classmates and myself had another experience that I will describe in another report.
Thanks for creating an organization that allow people to report this type of incidents.
Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate.  PD
