3 spots in sky in broad daylight moving oddly

3 of us hiked to the top of Griffith Park (past Dante's peak). Broad daylight.

A couple of people laying down on tables pointed out a couple of circular objects in the sky almost directly above us. They seemed to be very high up. No detail visible, just white circles. They were about the size of Venus at night quite recently except this was broad daylight and they were not shining. They were moving east, or towards the "white" of the sky, all the while maintaining the same distance between them, until we could no longer see them.

Two more (or the same, unsure) then showed up. Similar distance from each other but not moving. A third one appears, moving really quickly towards the two from the left. It passes them and slows down, seemingly forming an equilateral triangle.

A plane flew by, what seemed to be below these objects (the detail was much greater on the plane).

Lost sight of them. And then only one is visible at a lower point, off to the east, close to the 'white' part of the sky.

we speculated on weather balloons until this other one was seen moving so quickly. But we really came to no conclusions.
