Strange "soundless" objects and Streaking Lights over New Rochelle, NY

My friend and I were driving home when I we saw 4 lights that seemed to be in perfect alignment across the sky and very close to our location; they were at approx. 1500-3000 feet.

When we got closer the lights now formed a perfect rectangle; each light was .5 to 1.5 miles away from the other. After "hovering" for about 1 minute, 2 of the lights slowly began moving out of the formation and the other two dissappeard. These WERE NOT helicopters! There was absolutely NO sound coming from them.

We traveled down the road another mile where we parked near my home in a large open parking lot. At this time the sky became flooded with extremly low and slow flying as well as high altitude jets which seemed unusually quiet. All of the jets seemed to be 737's and 767's and all had identical lights that I didnt recognize as commercial. These jets were unusually quiet, had no window lights, and had dark colored paint schemes. I believe the jets I saw were the aircraft in the following links http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/e-767.htm http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/e-737.htm

After about 10 minutes of watching these low and high flying jets, the strange objects returned. Flying at about 1500 feet and making absolutely no sound, these craft seemed to move against all aerodynamic principles slowing down almost to a stop then suddenly speeding up extremely fast and reaching very high altitudes very quickly. They had green red and white lights which pulsed in a bizarre sequence unlike any aircraft I've ever seen.

After watching one of these craft for 2-3 minutes it dissappeared. My friend and I were looking in the direction that it disappeard when I looked away for a second and he screamed out " did you see that!" He had seen a white ball of light streak across the sky (half the distance horizon to horizon) in the blink of an eye. 5 minutes later, one of the low flying "dark" jets was flying overhead when my friend and I saw one of the "hovering" craft with odd sequential lights about 1 mile away over a nearby golf course. I immediately looked to the "dark" jet that just flew overhead and it banked suddenly very hard right and accelerated towards the "hovering" craft we had just seen.

After this the skies emptied and after about 20 minutes and there were absolutely NO airplanes in the skies overhead. We stayed outside for another hour staring at the sky when I saw what my friend had seen earlier. A small egg shaped light streaked halfway across the horizon at rediculous speed. The one I saw was horizontal and the one my friend saw shot upwards diagonally. I've seen shooting stars many times and I assure these were not. WHat really solidified my sighting for me as being at least "unusual" was that no more than 5 minutes after I saw the light flash, a military helicopter flew overhead at maybe 800 feet with the brightest search light on it that I've ever seen.
