3 fast-moving reddish lights, very high, first moving from north to south, one maneuvering to the northwest, followed by 2 more.

It was a clear evening with a moon. Three moving lights cover the constellation of Orion. First, the north-south movement. One of the lights turned to the northwest, and the other two followed it. One goes straight, and the other two follow at the speed and distance of the "guide", like two motorcycles on a wide road, passed by boys waving around their father.

They all had the same constant reddish light. They disappeared behind heavy clouds in the northwest, about 30 degrees from the horizon. This takes about 30 seconds. 

It seems to be a very high speed at high altitude. My wife, trying to identify the stars of the constellation Orion, noticed a movement that I initially interpreted as a single satellite, but she notices three objects on irregular trajectories.
