The sky was very clear and the stars were very bright, and I like to identify constellations. While I was watching something caught my attention, at first I though spun the satalite, I'll track it for a while, but it was a bunch of red dots.

As I looked more closely, it seemed to me that it was an oblong object of red rectangles/rhombuses 3 by 5 right to the north of where I was standing. they covered no more than an inch square. 

Then I noticed that some of them broke away from the formation, then danced and reformed. At first I thought it was a light effect from a laser or something, but there were no clouds in the sky at all, so I ran back to ask my sister to take a look, but they were gone. 

I'm usually a skeptic, but I find things like this interesting, but what I've seen I can't explain.
