Friends were driving me back from playing lazer tag. When we were going down my lane we saw three bright blue lights flying in formation around each other for about 3 minutes. then it looked like the rocketed into the sky and vanished.

It then started to come in closer and back away and then go up and down but always a steady slide to the right with red lights flashing more and more frequently and the hazy glow coming back every time it backed up. After thoroughly chasing this down in my yard (it kept going past the tree line), two white balls of light flew maybe 10 ft above our heads abd right towards the craft for about an hour and fifteen minutes, I could only faintly see it through the trees moving away from me at an even altitude. It was headed towards our neighborhood park so me and my brother decided to follow it. After getting there the craft had already completely turned around and I was now looking at it from the bottom. Triangle shape with 3 red lights on each point and on top was the bright like I had seen. It seemed to be avoiding me cause it left to another direction so fast. Not blasting off yet just going to a different area to do whatever was being done. As I'm watching this one craft fly further and further, I look up to my left to see another one coming from the same direction. Same look. It made a sharp turn and went behind the next tree line and I then look back and one is coming in bigger and bigger the sky. Again same motion with the quick turn but it went towards my house. So I called it quits and we went home and were talking on the patio about to to realize they were almost purposefully passing over us, watching us. Idk if it was the same 3, or 3 more, but rregardless, one would come and pass by and curve right over us and as that one was leaving the next would come from a different direction. Every singl Star or planet, we suspect. PD

4 orange/red lights which seemed to move in straight line formation. Moving west. They made no sound. One light was further ahead, followed by 3 more in line. I recorded the formation with my phone. Never seen anything like this!
