Witnessed 3 points of light zipping around the night sky interacting with one another

I was in my car one night on the phone in front of my house around 1am. I was laid back in the driver seat, and noticed something in my peripheral vision. I turned my head to look and didnt see anything. I continue talking and a few minutes later I notice something again, I look and dont see anything, I'm thinking maybe it's a meteorite. A few minutes later it happens again, I look and see a point of light flying around. I got out of my car to see it better. I'm standing on the sidewalk in front of my house under a streetlight looking up, I thought it could have been a bat but I saw no wings flapping and bats dont give off light in the dark, so I knew it was up higher. So now its above my house up high in the air zipping back and forth across the sky like a house fly and moving really fast. This is going on for several minutes I tried to call 2 ppl and they didn't answer because it was late. I tried to wake up my parents they werent interested. Our video ca! mera battery was dead of course. I went back outside and it there was 2 points of light zipping around with each other, all over the sky. And then a 3rd point of light appeared and began doing the same thing. This goes on for several minutes more and all of a sudden they got into a horizontal line and paused, then shot straight up into the sky very fast and the two points of light on the ends flew off to the left and right, the light in the middle just kept going up until I couldnt see it anymore. They all returned and flew around more and then they started to have a trail of like glitter or sparkles behind them while they flew around. This lasted a few seconds and they continued zipping around. Then one by one they started to fly off to the east and they were gone, I waited a few minutes to see if they would return and they didn't and that was it. They had to be 10's of thousands of feet in the atmosphere. There was no noise or anything coming from the lights and the light! s weren't extremely bright but were white in color. I've never! seen an ything that high fly around in that manner so fast and do the maneuvers I saw,it was amazing. Never seen anything like that again but I'm always looking up in the sky now, ever since.
