If you were more descriptive about the lights then I could try and explain what I think they were.
could be: airplanes, other aircraft, a satellite, aurora borealis, spotlights that big businesses set up and send them into the sky to attract people to a sale, etc.

Depends what you class as wierd.. I saw a few shooting stars just after they blew that thing up on the moon, cos the next meteor shower isnt till end of Oct.
Me+ my daughter were out with our dog when we saw what looked like a regular star, but it glowed really bright,seemed to vanish, then we spotted it again. Moving very slow. I believe these to be satalites.
Then 1 night me+my son saw what looked like a searchlight,but was shining from above

I don't know where you are, but you might have caught sight of the Northern Lights.... at least a tiny bit of them. This time of year is great for colours in the sky - the sunsets are amazing and very dramatic and the moon is strong. Enjoy!

Late one night in Camden I looked up at the sky and saw a war going on.

I saw these lights as well. They were really bright and they appeared 4 or 5 times. I think they are spotlights.

If they looked like shooting stars and you are in England, then you saw dust particles from Haily's comet .We are going through the Derbies of this now until the 21st of October .So keep your eyes peeled and enjoy the show!

As zee said it is the Leonid meteor shower which occurs this time of year as the Earth's orbit passes through debris from a comet.
