I'm seeing a mixture of lights that seem to follow a circular pattern around like red and green beaconing lights with white lights and it just moved probably a good few feet or so from previous location.

We came out of Truman University and they were bright lights, at a far distance in the dark sky not moving, bright. Two lights together. Appear to be a blurry round shape high up above the trees. I did a video Jupiter and Venus.

The Husband and I were star gazing, the sky was clear and the stars were bright. While pointing out the Little Dipper a diamond shape craft appeared. Light illuminated from the top and the bottom, light blue and possibly a green? Looked as though the color could have changed, the craft was about 200-300 yards above us. It only stayed out for about 5 seconds after we noticed and vanished into thin air.

Lights appeared at 10 o’clock high in sky traveling southwest to northeast. They traveled in mostly straight line formation and made no noise. One of the few not in formation seemed to join each other and become one light. The entire sighting lasted from 0530 to about 0600 and approximately 65 to 85 lights were observed
