Shapeshifting object with lights that can move My dad was driving on Hartford Road at night to go to a clothing store when I noticed a stationary disk shaped object with white lights placed on the top of the object. I then pulled out my phone and recorded the object staying still in the sky. It then started to move and lost some of its lights shaping a triangle.
I believe it may have shape-shifted from a disk with lights on top into a triangle shape with lights at its three corners. The object then flew behind some trees and I was unable to view it.

Chrome blue light moving quickly and curving from northwest to dew north. I was driving home from a friends house at 12:30 at night. I looked up as I slowed to a stop sign and saw it.
It seemed too large to be a meteor but was still very high up and far away. The light was a chrome blue and vibrant, never changing color. At first when I fixated on it it was still, like an oversized star.
Almost immediately after I registered that thought it shot off quickly and slightly curving away from my position heading directly North. I have seen many meteors in my life and immediately I felt a chill as it was unlike any I had seen. There was also no trail or light distortion as it moved across the sky just a solid light.
I lost sight of the light as it passed into the tree line.

A group of round white balls like objects with mothership! My husband and 7yr old heard a noise outside. Upon going to back porch to check it out we witnessed what appeared to be a spaceship. Many objects, light likes just going in a circular motion.
Overall shape of activity was like a diamond shape or a spinning type. The "objects" appeared in color of a light bulb and as they moved in a circular motion the center was dimmed but remained still. At some point we saw lights shoot outward like a light explosion but in a very organized fashion like a burst of water.
The width of the shape formed by these lights/objects had to be at least 10ft wide and was about 1-2 blocks away from our home but due to the large size it seems as if it was right next door.

Large triangle formation I was letting my dog out in the backyard when I got home from work. I was walking around the pool patio and was looking up over the roof line of my house and it appeared that 3 stars in the shape of a triangle started moving. Since I was walking, I stopped in place kinda wondering what I was watching and wanted to make sure I was actually seeing the lights move.
The triangle formation continued to move towards the east fairly slowly and appeared to be somewhat high in the air but appeared to be about 3-4 inches in length from where I stood so, would have to be enormous up close. The object just quietly moved towards the east and each of the 3 lights gradually diminished One by one. It just looked like a very large triangle of stars moving.

Then was gone. We stayed up to see if there were more, but no luck.
Full Report Text:
15-18 Red/Orange orbs moving across the sky that disappeared quickly along with a single white light that lingered for a few minutes. There were three red/orange orb like lights moving in a triangular pattern, and when they disappeared, two more came. After those two disappeared, three came and followed the same path as the others.
One really bright white light appeared and lingered for at least 8 minutes as more and more started appearing, always at the same path at very high speed. Definitely too fast to be planes. All of the red/orange ones that appeared seemed to move higher in the air and eventually just completely disappeared.
Once the Bright white one was gone, only a few more showed up and then it was over.
