Erie moving lights in the sky over Lake Erie

I was returning from having dinner with friends and as we were making a turning in Abels Road we saw a blue light fly across the sky. It then changed direction and turned green then it propelled downwards as if it was going into Lake Erie. It was too fast to be a plane and as it changed direction we ruled out the possibility of a shooting star. We got out of the car and waited for a while. After a minute of no sightings we decided to drive towards the area we thought that we saw it fall however after waiting by the lake for 15 minutes we saw nothing so headed back to the camp we were staying at.

Later on that night I was sitting out side of my cabin and saw two very interesting things. First as i looked up there was a grouping of 3 stars in a small triangle but when i looked closely the top star in the triangle was moving slightly to the right and the snapping back to the original position like it was attached to a piece of elastic. The second was a constant flashing light coming from the Lake Erie direciton. A pure white light at tree level. As I walked towards the direction, there were no cars or lights to produce the flash but it continued for a few minutes.
