Circle over Saratoga, NY

The report, as filed

I let my dog out this evening, while waiting for him to finish, i admired the night sky and saw what looked like a star moving. I stared at it for a while in disbelief and then it started moving again, it made several different shapes or patterns while blinking in several different colors. The object made a triangle, a circle, semi-circles, s and c patterns as well as move back and forth. The object looked like it was communicating with a similar shaped object via these patterns. The other object looked like it only had one color (light orange) but also blinked as it moved. The second object only moved after the first one, it looked like the second one was acknowledging whatever the first object was trying to communicate. I wittnessed this behavior for over an hour, I went back into my house and grabbed my wife and son to verify what i was looking at. My wife told me it was an airplane, so I showed her 3 airplanes moving in the night sky, I asked her to look again and after a few moments she reported seeing exactly what i was seeing, we watched for a few more minutes until she got too scared to continue looking at it. I went back inside to get my father, he did not care and stayed in bed so i woke my mother and asked her to come outside with me and look at something. My mother saw what my wife and i saw and was actually the one to point out the second object, she does not know what they are but pointed lo ut that they looked like they were both doing the same thing. I called a ufo reporting hotline which ive never done in my life. I was told to get wittnesses to the event, which i did. I was also told to identify stars and constellations using a smartphone astronomy app which i also did. At this time the second object was no longer in The sky. The first object apeared to be in the vicinity of Camelopardalis, however I could not place the object against anything definitive on the app. Im 31 years old, I look at the n! ight sky quite often but ive never seen anything like this bef! ore i am confident this was not an airplane or a twinkling star, ive seen both. to add to my background i am also an eagle scout. It is 1am now and im taking the time to do this report because i believe what i saw.
