Unexplained movement of one object and 40 or so more objects.

On Monday January 30 2023 about 9:15pm I went out to get mail and decided to look up to the sky. It was a bright clear night. The moon was about 3/4 full and was on the western side of sky. There was nothing to see by the naked eye except Orions Belt and what I thought was the Northern Star.

The white round object that I thought was the northern star started moving not fast not slow towards me. I froze and watched. Then object stopped when a plane flew by for final approach to land. When the plane was gone, the white object moved back to its original spot and then a red light and blue light appeared on right side of object. Now where there was hardly anything in the sky before there was now 40 or 50 white round objects formed very close to each other and each object had a red light and blue light appear on right side. This cluster of objects were opposite the one white object that had earlier moved across the sky. I could not reason this out in my mind about what I was seeing. So I went inside and didn’t think to tell my husband about it till Tuesday night January 3, 2023. By telling him what I saw, I realized I really did see unusual activity in the sky.
