Size of Object(s)around 1 to 2 feet wide Distance to Object(s) & Altitude6 to 7 hundred feet off the deck Shape of Object(s)smal lights Color of Object(s):amber Full Description & Detailswhile getting shopping carts off the parking lot at a grocery store at 9:45pm I was walking acrossed the lot and was looking around the night sky, I saw three small lights in a diagial formation. It at first looked like to me a medium size to small airliner in a left banking turn toward the ground. The lights to me looked like the two llights on the wing tips and the center light was the head light. The sky was starless due to clouds from a storm front. As I was going acrossed the parking lot. I looked away to see where I was going, I looked away for maybe 1 to 2 seconds and looked back at the objects. I thought that the objects were not an airliner in a banking turn, but maybe flares from an air guard jets out of Terre Haute, In . But there was no sound of jet engines. In this whole time frame of 1 to 2 second thought, the lights where higher in the sky and went out one by one from bottom to top. At round 9:55pm on the same date I sent my co worker out to the lot to get a few remaining carts off the lot. I followed him to see if the lights where back. He called out, "There they are." I looked up and saw only one, just as it went out. He said there was only two the time.
