Saw lights towards Hopkinsville, KY, there were about 10 of them

We were standing outside and noticed something flash across the sky faster than a plane towards Hopkinsville, KY. At first we all thought it was a shooting star, but noticed that it just stayed in one spot. Other planes were flying close to it, but it just sort of stayed in one spot, then as soon as the planes would pass, it would start to move again. The object went behind a neighbor's house slowly, so we all followed it to see what it was going to do. It disappeared rather quickly. We went back to where we initially saw it and noticed that the "stars" that were in the sky all around it were gone as well. Later on one of the witnesses said that when her mother had come to visit earlier this year, she had seen the same sort of thing as well. Nobody believed her then, but now we all do.
