3 light blue lights circling and colliding at regular patterns and intervals in the sky starting at 8PM and still continuing 3 hours after.

8:20 PM: It was at night, there were 3, very light, blue lights silently circling and colliding in the sky with regular patterns. They seemed to be moving from one side of the street to the other. I was walking with my mother and father and they seemed to follow us. They were circular lights that reflected off of the clouds. The lights were not very bright but easy to see in the dark sky. We walked from the garage to the front of the apartment and they seemed to follow us. Then, we went inside our house for about 10 minutes and then went back out to see if they were still there. We saw only one at this time circling alone above the garage. It could barely be seen. After about 10minutes, we went back inside. When I looked out the window all three lights came back and had moved once again toward the front of the apartment where my window was. There the three lights began circling and colliding again at regular patterns and intervals. Then after about 1hour, they disappeared from my view. It was too cold so i did not go out again to see where they were. I do not know how long the lights had been there previously to when I had seen them. update: 11:13 PM The three lights have once again been circling and colliding. They have not changed in color or shape. They continue to move steadily almost mechanically for hours now.

NUFORC Note:

Reports appears to us to be not inconsistent with an articulating advertising light. Just a guess.
