4 lights over Duluth. MN, one a blue-green with possible gassing, 3 yellow lights following

At approximately 7:03 A.M. on the morning of 1/10/15, I went out to pick up my newspaper. In the Northern sky (North of my vantage point), I noticed a light moving from West to East. It was bluish to green in color. The strange thing was that it had 3 plumes coming out of it. One plume was directly behind it and two others were coming almost straight out the sides. It was very bright and easily noticeable.

Following behind the first were three more. They were single lights, almost as bright, but smaller and yellow colored. There were no plumes on these lights. All 4 lights were following a same flight pattern, but far enough apart that there is no way it could have been a single aircraft. The first (plumed), third and fourth lights were in a direct line. The second light was higher in altitude.

I waited for 5 more minutes after they disappeared into the horizon to listen for possible delayed jet engine noise and there wasn’t any noise whatsoever.

Whatever this! was there is no doubt that all 4 lights were flying in unison on the same flight pattern all the way across the sky.
