Five circles of light undulating in the sky like a sidewinder snake

My husband and I were driving back from a convenience store early evening. Suddenly I noticed something very strange in the sky and without even thinking there may be vehicle behind us I stopped the car immediately unable to take in what I could see. In the sky ahead of us were five round white lights appearing to be linked together. From the distance we were they wqere about two feet across each circle of light. They began to move in a strange way across the sky still linked together like a sidewinder snake. Then they changed colour some red some remained white one green, then suddenly turned white again, broke apart and disappeared at enormous speed in different directions across the sky and disappeared. Throughout this whole spectacle my husband and I sat mesmerised in the car and didn't even speak to each other.(some ten minutes) After it was over I turned to him and said "Did you see that?" of course he had and I was glad that he was with me as no one believed us and I would have doubted my own sanity had I alone seen it. I have never seen anything like this ever before.
