A friend and I we're driving down a country road shortly after mid night when I noticed a very bright star or planet that almost just appeared. It was Orange in color and was very bright, we were in awe of its size and brightness. As we were looking and trying to determine what it was it started to move very slowly and take a triangle shape with twinkling lights on each point of the triangle, the lights were almost pulsating. The craft kept moving in a very slow, linear path that looked like it was coming directly towards us. It passed just to our right and was only 1,500-2,000 feet in the air, as it came closer we quickly determined it wasn't any airplane or helicopter because it made no sound. When the craft passed us we noticed 3 more with identicle shapes appear, they were also moving slowly and had the same linear path just spaced further apart.As we watched the other crafts as they moved closer we noticed one craft that was almost directly infront of us drop a small, light-like object to the ground. My friend and I were already kinda freaked out about seeing these objects and became almost scared when we saw one drop something to the ground. These crafts continued their straight, slow paths and when they passed they just sorta disappeared. We drive for another 5-10 minutes before arriving at our destination, when we arrived we continued to look in the eastern sky where these crafts were coming from and ended up seeing three more that went right over our heads. We got very good looks at the ones that went right over our heads, they were definitely large black triangles with lights on each point and a few lights in the middle and along the edges. They were moving very slow and had no sound until they were just past us, then we heard a very light propulsion-like engine sound.All of these objects basically just appeared and were all uniform in size, shape, and color, but their lights differed in slight color and patterns of the pulsations. My friend and I are just a couple regular, football loving, family guys and neither one of us have ever seen anything that compares to what we saw this night. After seeing these objects we tried to come up with logical explanations as to what these things were and we came up with nothing. Neither of us are aviation experts, but due to the size, altitude, sound, and light configurations we were both very confident these objects were not planes or helicopters or weather ballons.
