What Did I See in the Sky? [View all]

A couple nights ago, I was on the patio looking up at the sky. To the west, I saw some lights: one bright white light with 3 smaller red ones in a row above it. They did not seem to be moving and the lights did not blink. They were about 30 to 40% of the distance from the horizon to the zenith.

I googled to see if it could have been the space station, but apparently it is one bright light and moves rather quickly across the sky. Is it possible to see a satellite with nothing more than eyes with glasses?
