craft accompanied by two silent aircraft and followed by one loud aircraft

lg. elliptical silent object with no light other than a peach colored haze went quickly across the sky SW to NE accompanied by a silent aircraft at the upper rear and one at the bottom toward the rear. Each had one very bright flashing light but were silent. No details could be observed in the dark sky. These were observed while I was in the shower with no inside light and no outside lights on in the retirement community. I didn't notice them until they were more than half way across my field of vision. Ten minutes later when I stepped outside to look at the sky where they had been an aircraft suddenly zoomed by going in the same direction but lower in the sky with steady bright lights and making a very loud noise. Details of this craft also were not seen but there was a light at the front and one much lower and further back giving the impression a third light may have been on the opposite side thereby giving it a triangular shape. This aircraft had much greater speed than the others.
