Shape: Light

out my window in nyc i saw two very distinct small white lights in the sky moving like butterflys together

I live on the 10th floor of an apt building in nyc. I have a nice skyline view.

I was looking out the window while laying on the bed talking on the phone, which i often do. It was a clear night. I saw two little bright lights in the distance that looked like stars. But my mind must have tuned into them instead of the conversation on the phone because what I was seeing was nothing I had seen before.

All of a sudden I jumped up because I realized they weren't stars at all, because stars just stand still and twinkle. They were moving pretty fast but not abnormally fast and in sync with one another. The best way i could describe it is they were moving like butteflies move. Almost "dancing-like".

They were flying upward in a northeast direction. Twice they moved towards each other almost touching and then right back away from each other. All the while they kept flying in the northeast direction. Finally they went behind a building so they were out of my line of sight.

I would guess that if I lived in the building they went behind (approx 20 blocks away) I would have seen them extremely close. I couldnt believe what I saw and was speechless. I've been looking out these windows for two years and know what stars, helicopters, planes, fireworks, etc etc etc all look like and this was nothing I have ever seen before.
