Point Pleasant, NJ

I was walking my dog outside the day after all that smoke from CA, the sun had set but I looked up in the cloudy sky (up into the south west sky) and saw what looked light a spotlight machine for an event, I was thinking what event would have that around here... 3 or 4 spotlights sort of like there was an event and fancy lights but no beams from the ground... and the pattern was weird, not consistent, 3/4 lights but then a 5th light showed up and there was no longer a pattern. This lasted maybe 5 minutes, I looked around my street to see if anyone was out so I could ask if they saw and what they thought. I thought maybe a plane at first but then saw an plane and it had flashing lights, was very clearly a plane, could hear it. These other light orbs I saw were almost like a spotlight on low clouds but it was within the clouds, orbish but I could only see the light oval. They all "flew" south after a few minutes. I googled, looked up UFO NJ the next day, I am 100% sure what I saw was not spotlights, not helicopter, not plane, not drone... no sounds. no flashing lights. It was a bunch of steady oval glowing things within clouds.
